Softbank tells customers to not have sex or ‘indecent behavior’ with robot

Google has some famously challenging decisions to make about software for self-driving cars (like real-life versions of trolley problems, where the car has to choose between hitting one person or another person). It seems home robot developers will also have some challenging decisions about how robots should react to sexual situations. Whatever decisions they make may disturb or upset some customers.

Robot makers could also face a challenge about discreetly conveying to customers whether (or how) a robot can be used for sexual purposes, without upsetting other users who don't like the idea.
