About

Sabine Roeser is a leading voice in the ethics of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on human–robot interaction and its societal implications. Her work critically examines the moral dimensions of deploying autonomous systems in sensitive domains like industrial workplaces and elderly care. In her highly cited 2021 paper, "Ethical Aspects of Human–Robot Collaboration in Industrial Work Settings," Roeser explores the nuanced ethical challenges that arise when humans and robots share physical workspaces, addressing issues of safety, trust, and responsibility. Her 2020 study, "The Complexity of Autonomy: A Consideration of the Impacts of Care Robots on the Autonomy of Elderly Care Receivers," is a landmark contribution that unpacks the multifaceted nature of autonomy in geriatric care. By developing a novel taxonomy, Roeser demonstrates how care robots can both enhance and undermine the independence of elderly individuals, moving beyond simplistic ethical frameworks. Her research has garnered significant attention, with her most cited works accumulating dozens of citations, reflecting her influence in shaping responsible innovation. Roeser’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethical design and deployment of robotic systems that truly serve human well-being.
