Research Abstract

This study identified ethical issues specific to robotics research based on the survey of research trends in robotics, especially humanoid robotics research, and investigated the philosophical and ethical significance of the synthetic approach to robotics. Moreover, it clarified the role of the synthetic approach in the history of Japanese robotics and aspects in which some Japanese robotics researchers have found ethical issues and the directions they have recommended taking. Further, the philosophical and ethical issues when applying robotics to developmental studies were discussed.
