  This question was raised at the question was raised at the conference on The Ethics of Autonomous Military Systems -> "Can a robot commit a war crime?"
  
  How ethical can a robot can?
  I believe the answer to this question depends on how ethical were the creators of the robots. Disregarding any glitches that might have occured during the creation of the robot, the creator undisputtingly are the ones that 'inserted' whatever ethical 'logarithms' possible into the robot and brought it to life.
