From the abstract: &#8222;Residents in retirement and nursing homes have  sexual needs just like other people. However, the semi-public situation makes it difficult for them to satisfy these existential concerns. In addition, they may not be able to meet a suitable partner or find it difficult to have a relationship for mental or physical reasons. People  who live or are cared for at home can also be affected by this problem. Perhaps they can host someone more easily and discreetly than the residents of a health facility, but some elderly and disabled people may  be restricted in some ways. This article examines the opportunities and risks that arise with regard to care robots with sexual assistance  functions. First of all, it deals with sexual well-being. Then it  presents robotic systems ranging from sex robots to care robots. Finally, the focus is on care robots, with the author exploring  technical and design issues. A brief ethical discussion completes the article. The result is that care robots with sexual assistance functions could be an enrichment of the everyday life of people in need of care, but that we also have to consider some technical, design and moral aspects.&#8220; The paper had been submitted to the symposium &#8222;Applied AI in Healthcare: Safety, Community, and the Environment&#8220;. Oliver Bendel will present the paper at Stanford University between 23 and 25 March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Akt.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Akt.png 850w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Akt-300x285.png 300w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Akt-768x730.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fig.: Should care robots have sexual assistance functions? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paper &#8222;Care Robots with Sexual Assistance Functions&#8220; by Oliver Bendel was accepted at the AAAI 2020 Spring Symposia.
