The ethical capability applies best to my research topic, the ethics have to be considered when it comes to the investment in development of robotic exoskeleton suit in different areas. According to McLeod (2015), “Ethics refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research. We have a moral responsibility to protect research participants from harm.” Throughout the research processes, I’ve developed a better ethical thinking. It was crucial to think about ethics while conducting surveys and interviews, asking questions in the most ethical way possible to avoid offending others.
Primary Research
In my primary research, I conducted surveys, interviews and wrote a personal report on my experience. During these, …show more content…
Should be money be spent in other areas instead of robotic exoskeleton suit, will it be better spent elsewhere and have a better outcome? And if the money is spent in the development of robotic exoskeleton suits, then where would it be spent ethically? Military, health or industry? All the ethics need to be considered when spending huge amounts of money in a new upcoming technology.
Ethics regarding the military uses of this technology, this kind of technology will give many solider various advantages in a battlefield but most of all it will protect the troops and save many lives. But would this mean that the soldiers that are technologically advanced will be sent to complete riskier tasks? (Exoskeletons, 2013).
Ethics regarding the heath uses of this technology, robotic exoskeleton suits have been aiding people with walking disabilities walk again. Wheelchairs cause many health issues whereas exoskeleton suits are better for their health. But this technology is very expensive, somewhere around a hundred thousand dollars. Due to the price, not many people in need will be able to afford this technology.
Ethics regarding the industrial uses of this technology,
