Much existing work examining the ethical behaviors of robots does not consider the impact and effects of longterm human-robot interactions. A robot teammate, collaborator or helper is often expected to increase task performance, individually or of the team, but little discussion is usually devoted to how such a robot should balance the task requirements with building and maintaining a “working relationship” with a human partner, much less appropriate social relations outside that team.
