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.
