Ancient myths contain the stories of artificial humans brought to life by gods. Also, the word "robot" originates from the play that was about artificial humans made from artificial flesh that aims to serve real humans. Due to the advancement in robotics, the materialization of this idea is more real than ever. We are witnessing the tries to create humanoid robots that might be deployed in many spheres of our life - police, healthcare but also love and sex. This book focuses on the ethical issues resulting from the human likeness of robots and the human tendency to anthropomorphize. It is built on the assumption that the design choices are not neutral, and we should discuss them to align robots with human values fully. With their bodies operating in the physical world, robots bring ideas and risks that need to be addressed before their broader deployment. This book reviews specific issues and provides suggestions and recommendations for improving robots to serve humans better. This book draws on the literature from Human-Robot Interactions, ethics of AI and robotics, and the philosophy of technology"-- Provided by publisher. Androids Moral and ethical aspects.
