The research project “RR-AI” (Responsible Robotics and AI) develops robotics for health-related fields. Within the project, we are especially interested in the ethical, legal, and social dimensions and how the application of robotics affects involved actors. To evaluate the chances and risks healthcare experts and the general public faces when robotics are applied in the healthcare system, we conduct focus groups in Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law is represented through Sophia Witz, University Assistant in the group of Professor Iris Eisenberger.
