What does fusion of robot technology and human mean?

With an expectation that the next generation of robot technology is coming soon to the human world, robot engineers have discussed the ethical implications. As a humanities scholar, I have also examined roboethical issues related to the introduction of robot technology into the human world. In this paper, I chose two issues to examine. First is the case of robot technology applied to a situation of human care and human education. By referring to a recent publication on ethics and robot technology, I examine what sort of issues American scholars have found in the fusion of robot technology and humans in the area of human care. Second, I pay an attention to a case of Brain Machine Interface (BMI). BMI opens up a new horizon into the fusion of machines and human brains, asking us to rethink about what “human” is.
