 +=====The ethical questionnaire=====
 +
 +Given out to the research partners:
 +
 +  - 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=====
 +
 +Study human emotion and expression by looking at:
 +
 +  * Comparing how people act towards robots and animals
 +  * Other forms of HCI technology
 +
 +Forming and maintenance of relationships does not necessarily mean you have to mimic 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 (from the wider society) to filter into design decisions.
