Privacy is crucial for healthy relationships, but robots will impact our privacy in new ways-this warrants a new area of research. This paper presents work from the first workshop on privacy-sensitive robotics. We identify the seven research themes that should comprise privacy-sensitive robotics research in the near future: data privacy; manipulation and deception; trust; blame and transparency; legal issues; domains with special privacy concerns; and privacy theory. We intend for the research directions proposed for each of these themes to serve as a roadmap for privacy-sensitive robotics research.
