Robots do not have any capability of taking moral responsibility. At the same time industrial robotics is entering a new era with ??intelligent?? robots sharing workbench with humans. Teams consisting of humans and industrial robots are no longer science fiction. The biggest worry in this scenario is the fear of humans losing control and robots running amok. We believe that the current way of implementing...
The future of robotics engineering is in the hands of engineers and must be handled to ensure the safety of all people and the reputation of the field. We are in the process of developing a code of ethics for professional robotics engineers to serve as a guideline for the ethical development of the field. This document contains the current version of this code and describes the methodology used in...
Asimov's three laws of robotics have been inculcated so successfully into our culture that they now appear to shape expectations as to how robots should act around humans. However, there has been little serious discussion as to whether the laws really do provide a framework for human-robot interactions. Asimov actually used his laws as a literary device to explore the lack of resilience in the interplay...
The nature of the responsibility that engineers bear for producing safe designs is outlined. and some ideas about evaluating safety levels are discussed. It is suggested that engineering schools introduce these ideas through courses on engineering ethics or technology and society. presentations made at apropriate points in regular technical courses, occasional colloquia, and brief statements made...
