Beginning in science-fiction literature a century ago the concept of robot today has become a technical reality. Industrial robots are mature and used in large scale ? and the technicality of service robots is improving rapidly. This technical success made possible by competent management has in future to be safeguarded by integrating a balanced ethical relationship between ‘robot’ and ‘human body’ as an enlightened self-interest for enterprise. The analysis of Japanese and German companies based on companies’ web pages shows that progress in robots is a global phenomenon. The competition between robot-companies is a strong positive driver so that non-technical factors starting from R&D to production up to the delivery to the customer may play a crucial role in future: “ethics” as a management challenge in the context of the global robot markets may be an important success-factor for future robot-generations. Ongoing monitoring of the topic discussed is crucial ? it is a joint task for management and science.departmental bulletin pape
