There has been deployed in several health care facilities, where it is functioning autonomously, assisting staff and patients on an been significant development in this direction. One of the everyday basis. Lio is intrinsically safe by having full coverage most known robots is Pepper by SoftBank Robotics, which in soft artificial-leather material as well as having collision was created for interaction and entertainment tasks. It is detection, limited speed and forces. Furthermore, the robot has capable of voice interactions with humans, face and mood a compliant motion controller. A combination of visual, audio, recognition. In the healthcare sector Pepper is used for laser, ultrasound and mechanical sensors are used for safe navigation and environment understanding.

  • Report of Comest on Robotics Ethics
    SHS/YES/COMEST-10/17/2 REV. Paris, 14 September 2017 Original: English REPORT OF COMEST ON ROBOTICS ETHICS Within the framework of its work programme for 2016-2017, COMEST decided to address the topic of robotics ethics building on its previous reflection on ethical issues related to modern robotics, as well as the ethics of nanotechnologies and converging technologies. At the 9th (Ordinary) Session of COMEST in September 2015, the Commission established a Working Group to develop an initial reflection on this topic. The COMEST Working Group met in Paris in May 2016 to define the structure and content of a preliminary draft report, which was discussed during the 9th Extraordinary Session of COMEST in September 2016. At that session, the content of the preliminary draft report was further refined and expanded, and the Working Group continued its work through email exchanges. The COMEST Working Group then met in Quebec in March 2017 to further develop its text. A revised text in the form of a draft report was submitted to COMEST and the IBC in June 2017 for comments. The draft report was then revised based on the comments received. The final draft of the report was further discussed and revised during the 10th (Ordinary) Session of COMEST, and was adopted by the Commission on 14 September 2017. This document does not pretend to be exhaustive and does not necessarily represent the views of the Member States of UNESCO. – 2 – REPORT OF COMEST ON ROBOTICS ETHICS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I.

  • Calo, Robot Privacy
    Robots and Privacy M. Ryan Calo Introduction Robots are commonplace today in factories and on battlefields. The consumer market for robots is rapidly catching up. A worldwide survey of robots by the United Nations in 2006 revealed 3.8 million in operation, 2.9 million of which were for personal or service use. By 2007, there were 4.1 million robots working just in people’s homes [Singer 2009, 7‐8; Sharkey 2008, 3]. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has gone so far as to argue in an opinion piece that we are at the point now with personal robots that we were in the 1970s with personal computers, of which there are now many billions [Gates 2007]. As these sophisticated machines become more prevalent—as robots leave the factory floor and battlefield and enter the public and private sphere in meaningful numbers— society will shift in unanticipated ways. This chapter explores how the mainstreaming of robots might specifically affect privacy. It is not hard to imagine why robots raise privacy concerns. Practically by definition, robots are equipped with the ability to sense, process, and record the world around them [Denning et al. 2008; Singer 2009, 67].ii Robots can go places humans cannot go, see things humans cannot see. Robots are, first and foremost, a human instrument. And after industrial manufacturing, the principle use to which we’ve put that instrument has been surveillance. Yet increasing the power to observe is just one of ways in which robots may implicate privacy within the next decade. This chapter breaks the effects of robots on privacy into three categories—direct surveillance, increased access, and social meaning—with the goal of introducing the reader to a wide variety of issues.

  • Technology Roadmapping—A Planning Framework for Evolution and Revolution
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com SCIENCE ^DIRECT* Technological Forecasting & Social Change 71 (2004) 5-26 Technology roadmapping—A planning framework for evolution and revolution Robert Phaal*, Clare J.P. Farrukh, David R. Probert Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RX, UK Received 9 May 2003; received in revised form 20 May 2003; accepted 26 May 2003 Abstract Technology roadmapping is a flexible technique that is widely used within industry to support strategic and long-range planning. The approach provides a structured (and often graphical) means for exploring and communicating the relationships between evolving and developing markets, products and technologies over time. It is proposed that the roadmapping technique can help companies survive in turbulent environments by providing a focus for scanning the environment and a means of tracking the performance of individual, including potentially disruptive, technologies. Technology roadmaps are deceptively simple in terms of format, but their development poses significant challenges. In particular the scope is generally broad, covering a number of complex conceptual and human interactions. This paper provides an overview of the origins of technology roadmapping, by means of a brief review of the technology and knowledge management foundations of the technique in the context of the fields of technology strategy and technology transitions. The rapidly increasing literature on roadmapping itself is presented in terms of a taxonomy for classifying roadmaps, in terms of both organizational purpose and graphical format. This illustrates the flexibility of the approach but highlights a key gap—a robust process for technology roadmapping. A fast-start method for technology roadmapping developed by the authors is introduced and described.
