Overview: Under the direction of Technical Committee AMT/10, is responsible for the UK creation and input to standards in the field of Ethics for robots, robotic devices and autonomous systems, industrial robots, medical care robots and personal care robots. Robot technology is rapidly advancing and robotic systems, once the preserve of industry, are increasingly found in domestic and other non-industrial applications. These new robots will operate in an environment that will bring them into close contact with members of the public. This committee will address the ethical questions relevant to the design, development, implementation and deployment of robots and associated systems
