Abstract
Roboethics is an often-discussed topic in recent years. It has been addressed by science-fiction authors and Hollywood as well as by governments and scientists in various different ways. There seems to be a general consensus on the importance of the issue, but there are still many different approaches that did not achieve a great deal of awareness. Robotic Governance provides an opportunity to consolidate all these approaches and to start a discussion with all involved stakeholders in order to reach a consensus on research, manufacturing and use of technologies in the fields of robotics, automation as well as artificial intelligence. This is the first step to realize sustainable robotics and to successfully and consciously shape the future of coming generations of robotic natives without compromising our own needs.
