The main purpose of this paper is to consider ethical effects of the production and use of robots to human lives, in terms of the fundamental goal of roboethics. Due to different interests in robots technology, the levels of developing robots are different from various industrial fields of robots. At the moment a study of roboethics centred on western countries like EU and the USA tends to be focused on each case from their own interests of robotics. To give any desirable foundation of roboethics in ethics as well as in robotics, therefore, this paper would like to point out the limit of roboethics in contemporary tendency and to have certain perspective to the ethical nature of responsibility for the next generations.
