  With the projected surge in the elderly population, service robots offer a
promising avenue to enhance their well-being in elderly care homes. Such robots
will encounter complex scenarios which will require them to perform decisions
with ethical consequences. In this report, we propose to leverage the
Intelligent Disobedience framework in order to give the robot the ability to
perform a deliberation process over decisions with potential ethical
implications. We list the issues that this framework can assist with, define it
formally in the context of the specific elderly care home scenario, and
delineate the requirements for implementing an intelligently disobeying robot.
We conclude this report with some critical analysis and suggestions for future
work.
