Abstract In the current study, two experiments were adopted to investigate the people’s moral judgment about human and robot agents in personal/impersonal dilemmas. The results are as follows: (1) in impersonal dilemma (autonomous vehicle dilemma), people apply same moral norms to human and robot agents. They have the same expectation about what action the agents should do (utilitarian) and the same moral evaluation (of permissibility, rightness, blame) about the agents’ actually action. (2) In personal dilemma (footbridge dilemma), people apply different moral norms to human and robot agents. Although overall people want both human and robot agent choice deontology action, while compared with human, robot agents were more expected to take the utilitarian action, and they were give higher evaluation (higher permissibility, and lower blame) than their human counterparts about their utilitarian action.
