This book examines the growing use of robots in professional caregiving, a development driven by demographic change and persistent shortages in the care sector. At the same time, it highlights the new ethical challenges that accompany this trend. The study examines how care robots can be used in a way that respects human dignity. Accordingly, human dignity is used as an ethical criterion. Although the concept allows for a degree of interpretation, it is far from arbitrary. To make it applicable in caregiving practice, its core meaning must be linked to a care-specific conception of the human being. Against this backdrop, the book demonstrates that robots can, under certain conditions, be integrated into professional care settings and contribute to safeguarding the dignity of people in need of care.
