-The ethical questionnaire:
-  - Describe the technology and/or scenario that you are working with?
-  - What is the main motivation for choosing this particular technology/scenario?
-  - What would you say are the underlying ideas behind your research?
-  - How do people (general public and other researchers) react to your work? E.g. common questions.
-  - What are the reasons that you work with robots (instead of another kind of technology or design solution)?
-  - Do you think that your work expresses any particular values? Please describe these. For example, does it reflect any cultural, moral or aesthetic values, and how?
-  - How do you think that your own values and interest may affect your research/scenario?
-  - How do you think that your work may affect society (both negative and positive)? Does it emphasize, change or follow an existing tradition?
-  - What are your thoughts about robots in general?
-  - How would you define a robot?
-  - Do your have other comments reflections about ethics and robotics/robots?

+=====Value sensitive robot design=====
+Human emotion and expression based on:
+  * Comparing how people act towards robots and animals
+  * Looking at other forms of technology
+Forming and maintenance of relationships does not necessarily mean mimicking human behaviour - triggering affection and social interests may be done in other ways.
+As researchers it's important to stay open, and allow early impressions of the work to filter into design decisions.
