Abstract
Some of the key considerations regarding the roll-out and implementation of socially assistive robots in care settings have to do with ethical issues. This chapter provides readers with an overview of some of the main concerns that have emerged in the literature on ethics in socially assistive robotics (SAR) along with opportunities to reflect on the ethical challenges associated with the use of robots in the care of older adults. This includes issues of autonomy, dignity, informed consent, privacy and data protection, attachment and deception, false expectations, health inequalities, safety, responsibility and labor replacement, and the implications of such issues for care recipients and caregivers.
