This open access book presents detailed findings about the ethical  legal  and social
acceptance of robots in the German and European context. The key resource is the Bremen AI
Delphi survey of scientists and politicians and a related population survey. The focus is on
trust in robotic assistance  human willingness to use this assistance  and the expected
personal well-being in human-robot interaction. Using recent data from Eurostat  the European
Social Survey  and the Eurobarometer survey  the analysis is extended to Germany and the EU.
The acceptance of robots in care and everyday life is viewed against their acceptance in other
contexts of life and the scientific research. The book reports on how the probability of five
complex future scenarios is evaluated by experts and politicians. These scenarios cover a broad
range of topics  including the worst-case scenario of cutthroat competition for jobs  the
wealth promise of AI  communication in human-robot interaction  robotic assistance  and ethical
and legal conflicts. International economic competition alone will ensure that countries invest
sustainably in the future technologies of AI and robots. But will these technologies also be
accepted by the population? The book raises the core issue of how governments can gain the
needed social  ethical  and user acceptance of AI and robots in everyday life. This highly
topical book is of interest to researchers  professionals and policy makers working on various
aspects of human-robot interaction. This is an open access book.
