  • Robotic Pets in the Lives of Preschool Children
    Robotic pets in the lives of preschool children Peter H. Kahn, Jr., Batya Friedman, Deanne R. Pérez-Granados and Nathan G. Freier University of Washington / Stanford University / University of Washington This study examined preschool children’s reasoning about and behavioral interactions with one of the most advanced robotic pets currently on the retail market, Sony’s robotic dog AIBO. Eighty children, equally divided between two age groups, 34–50 months and 58–74 months, participated in individual sessions with two artifacts: AIBO and a stuffed dog. Evaluation and justification results showed similarities in children’s reasoning across artifacts. In contrast, children engaged more often in apprehensive behavior and attempts at reciprocity with AIBO, and more often mistreated the stuffed dog and endowed it with animation. Discussion focuses on how robotic pets, as representative of an emerging technological genre, may be (a) blurring foundational ontological categories, and (b) impacting children’s social and moral development. Keywords: AIBO, children, human–computer interaction, human–robot interaction, moral development, social development, Value Sensitive Design Animals have long been an important part of children’s lives, offering comfort and companionship, and promoting the development of moral reciprocity and responsibility (Beck & Katcher, 1996; Kahn, 1999; Melson, 2001). Yet in recent years there has been a movement to create robotic pets that mimic aspects of their biological counterparts. In turn, researchers have begun to ask important questions. Can robotic pets, compared to biological pets, provide children with similar developmental outcomes (Druin & Hendler, 2000; Pérez-Granados, 2002; Turkle, 2000)? How do children conceive of this genre of robots? It is a genre that some researchers have begun to refer to as “social robots” (Bartneck & Forlizzi, 2004; Breazeal, 2003): robots that, to varying degrees, have some constellation of being personified, embodied, adaptive, and autonomous; and Interaction Studies 7:3 (2006), 405–436.

  • Robotic Pets in Human Lives: Implications for the Human–Animal Bond and for Human Relationships with Personified Technologies ∗ Gail F
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2009, pp. 545--567 Robotic Pets in Human Lives: Implications for the Human–Animal Bond and for Human Relationships with Personified Technologies ∗ Gail F. Melson Purdue University Peter H. Kahn, Jr. University of Washington Alan Beck Purdue University Batya Friedman University of Washington Robotic “pets” are being marketed as social companions and are used in the emerging field of robot-assisted activities, including robot-assisted therapy (RAA). However,the limits to and potential of robotic analogues of living animals as social and therapeutic partners remain unclear. Do children and adults view robotic pets as “animal-like,” “machine-like,” or some combination of both? How do social behaviors differ toward a robotic versus living dog? To address these issues, we synthesized data from three studies of the robotic dog AIBO: (1) a content analysis of 6,438 Internet postings by 182 adult AIBO owners; (2) observations ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Gail F.

This is probably the worst track record amongst most major exporters. That means that either management is not able to anticipate challenges … or they fail on execution almost every time. Either way, it does not reflect well on Sony’s management.”1 - Atul Goyal, Analyst, CLSA2, in January 2009. SONY IN CRISIS, AGAIN In May 2009, Japan-based multinational conglomerate, Sony Corporation (Sony) announced that it posted its first full year operating loss since 1995, and only its second since 1958, for the fiscal year ending March 2009. Sony announced annual loss of ¥ 98.9 billion3, with annual sales going down by 12.9% to ¥ 7.73 trillion. Sony also warned that with consumers worldwide cutting back on spending in light of the recession, the losses could be to the extent of ¥ 120 billion for the year ending March 2010 (Refer to Exhibit IA for Sony‘s five year financial summary and Exhibit IB for operating loss by business segment).

  • Autonomous AIBO Watchman
    Autonomous AIBO watchman TDT4735 Software Engineering, Depth Study Ingeborg Strand Friisk November 28, 2003 Norwegian University of Technology and Science, NTNU Department of Computer and Information Science, IDI Supervisor: Tor St˚alhane Co-supervisor: Siv Hilde Houmb 2 Abstract As society has gradually moved towards an extensive use of computers and automatized sup- port, both in everyday life and in work environments, the role and feasibility of autonomous robots has grown in importance. The concept of smart homes, with several computer-based systems making everyday life easier is presently an active research and development subject, i.e. at Telenor [27]. Another aspect is the inclusion of electronics and robotics for fun and enter- tainment in homes such as PC and TV-games and the robot entertainment dog, AIBO. AIBO walks on four legs and commercial software makes it act like a small pet, that walks around, sings songs or chooses to do nothing. AIBO owners also has the opportunity to program it to do other and maybe more useful things. This report presents the possibility of automating watchman activities using simple and small robots such as AIBOs. We demonstrate through design analysis and implementation how AIBO can be used as a watchman to keep areas under surveillance. The main focus in this study is safety, with risk analysis and some implementation as natural parts of the study to better comprehend the concept of software safety in critical systems. A simplified version of the safety lifecycle of IEC 61508 has been applied. For a structured Preliminary Hazard Analysis HazOp has been applied.

    Market opportunities for Queensland agribusiness from FTA with South Korea FINAL REPORT 1 Executive summary Background Australia recently signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with China (June 2015), Japan (July 2014) and South Korea (April 2014). These agreements substantially reduce or remove tariffs on a range of Australian food and agribusiness export products including beef, grains, horticulture, seafood and processed foods, which together represent a large share of Queensland’s total agricultural production and exports. Deloitte Access Economics has been engaged by Trade & Investment Queensland (TIQ) and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) to identify opportunities and barriers within Queensland agribusiness sectors arising from the FTAs. The project has been undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 highlighted the commodities which showed the most promise for increased trade and investment between China, Japan and South Korea. These commodities were identified through analysis of tariff reductions, Queensland production, exports, consumption trends and major competitors as well as consultation with Queensland agribusiness stakeholders. Stage 2 (this report) profiles these identified commodities in more detail to identify any non-tariff barriers, supply chain constraints, market operation and their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). This profiling was informed through further consultation with Queensland Government, industry associations, traders and selected in-market contacts in China, Japan

  • Aibo Programming Using OPEN-R SDK Tutorial
    Aibo programming using OPEN-R SDK Tutorial François Serra Jean-Christophe Baillie http://www.ensta.fr/˜baillie June 2003 URBI Notice We have recently (2004) created and released a new interface to program and control Aibos, called URBI (Universal Robotic Body Interface). URBI is an interface language basedonaclient/server architecture and can work together with C++, Java and Matlab (more languages to come) on any operating system. URBI is robot independent, working with Aibo but also with humanoid robots or with the Webots4 simulator. Changing from the real robot to a simulation is just about changing an IP address. URBI is considerably simpler to use and understand than OPENR. For example, the ball track- ing example described in this tutorial is only 3 lines long in URBI... URBI is simpler to use for beginners but comes with many features for advanced programmers, especially useful for robotic applications: simple access to the motors and sensors, parallel processing of complex script com- mands, event driven programming, complex motor trajectory, extended mutex policies, integrated behavior description,... For more details about URBI and to download it: http://www.urbiforge.com The URBI Team. www.urbiforge.com 1 Foreword The Sony Aibo robot is currently a very interesting (and relatively cheap) plateform to conduct research in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Aside the numerous captors and actuators, the most important element is that Aibo is programmable. The Aibo programming language, built on top of C++, is provided by Sony as the OPEN-R SDK. This tutorial is intended to ease the use of this SDK. The official documentation given by Sony on the www.aibo.com web page is not currently covering all aspects of OPEN-R.
