Since 2003, the ethical, legal, and societal issues (ELS) in advanced robotics have attracted the increasing and lively interest of academic and professional circles. A similar, although more occasional, debate has also spread to the general public, stimulated either by the novel statements of researchers about recent advancement in robotics or by new and sensitive robotics applications. This increase of contributions and interest occurred hand in hand with the rapid development of research and applications in the service (personal) robot sector, marking the end of the robot segregation era [1].
