摘要: 在全球人口老龄化的速度不断加快和医疗护理资源相对短缺的背景下,老人护理机器人的发展和使用将会为维护老人的身心健康带来巨大的希望和前景:它既可以帮助老人完成各种日常事务,也可以对老人的健康状况进行监督管理,同时还可以为老人提供社会关怀。与此同时,它也可能会对老人的社交生活、隐私、自由自主等带来巨大的威胁。减小或避免这些威胁需要机器人技术专家、伦理学家、医生、护理人员,以及老人本身的共同努力。这种努力主要体现在三个方面:以价值敏感性设计为老人护理机器人的设计路径,合理规定老人护理机器人的使用方式,以及提高老人及相关护理人员对老人护理机器人及其与人类关系的本质的认识。

关键词: 人口老龄化, 老人护理机器人, 伦理风险, 风险预防

Abstract: Given the ever increasing rate of global population aging and the relative shortage of medical care resources, the development and use of the aged care robots will bring about great hope and prospect in improving the physical and mental health of the elderly. The aged care robots can assist the elderly in daily tasks, help monitor their behavior and health, and provide them with companionship. In the meantime, however, the aged care robots can also endanger the social contact, privacy, freedom and safety of the elderly. Roboticists, ethicists, doctors, caregivers and the elderly themselves should make joint efforts to diminish or prevent these risks. Such efforts can be mainly divided into three aspects—designing the aged care robots through value-sensitive design approaches, stipulating reasonably the ways the aged care robots are used, and understanding correctly the essence of the aged care robots and their relationship with human beings.

Key words: population aging, aged care robot, ethical risk, risk prevention
