Abstract
Although robots are becoming widely known as aids to human success, they are likewise gaining reputations as tools of death. This begs the question of whether robots can be morally programmed. We address this question through discussion of various conceptualizations of robots in society. Using case studies, we highlight the irony of robots functioning both as heroic and hazardous agents. We conclude by assessing whether morality can be designed in robots and present guidelines for designers to attempt such a feat.
