The paper considers the issues of creating mechanisms that allow a collaborative robot to be considered a moral agent. It is shown that in the conditions of fundamentally irremovable contradictions and incompleteness, the use of logical schemes and various non-classical logics does not solve the problem of formalizing moral teachings and ethics of behavior. The example shows that the task of moral schemes is not only and not so much to determine or evaluate the agent action (behavior), but to implement the explanatory behavior component. Utilitarianism in the understanding of I. Bentham and J. S. Mill in combination with the axiological system of hedonism rules are considered as ethical theories of the robot behavior. Cognitive maps are used for qualitative analysis. Three fundamental statements of the moral behavior of a robot are formulate in the article
