Regulation of the Use of Social Robotics in Care Settings: A Simulation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A simulated consultative exercise on behalf of the European Commission. The topic is regulation of social robots in care settings (e.g. dementia care), currently underdeveloped in Europe. There may be a need for targeted regulation at EU, national, local or industry level; conversely, existing regulation (e.g. health and safety, product liability, medical devices standards) may be sufficient to guide practice in this emergent care field. The simulation is based on a fictional scenario and participants will develop and present their views from a specific stakeholder viewpoint. The aim is to agree on the parameters of any such future regulatory framework.
