As these technological developments interact socially with children, the elderly, or the disabled, they may raise concerns besides mere physical safety; concerns that include data protection, inappropriate use of emotions, invasion of privacy, autonomy suppression, decrease in human interaction, and cognitive safety. Given the novelty of these technologies and the uncertainties surrounding the impact of care automation, it is unclear how the law should respond. Investigating legal and regulatory implications of the growing use of personal care robots for healthcare purposes, this work explores the interplay between various aspects of the law, including safety, data protection, responsibility, transparency, autonomy, and dignity; and different robotic and AI systems.
