New paper out in which I, @sabinehauert.bsky.social, Matimba Swarma & Jonathan Ives take a deep dive into responsible swarm robotics. We set out for the first time a framework for the ethical governance of real-world swarms royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #AIethics #robotethics #robot
On the ethical governance of swarm robotic systems in the real world | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
In this paper, we address the question: what practices would be required for the responsible design and operation of real-world swarm robotic systems? We argue that swarm robotic systems must be developed and operated within a framework of ethical ...

Ran into Tally, the grocery store inventory-checking robot at Martin’s in South Bend, IN. (Sorry about the overly quick video. Simone was coming and I felt weird recording it!) Will post in the comments a news segment about Tally in another grocery store.) #robots #aiethics #robotethics

I gave a presentation on the concepts of "inochi" (life) and the animated persona, and their application to robots, at the Embassy of the Netherlands, Tokyo. The event was organized by Matthew Dennis from Eindhoven University of Technology. #philosophy #robots #robotethics

Dang! @ncstate.bsky.social’s bookBot, a robotic library storage & retrieval system on their engineering campus, is very cool. Maybe a good way to, y’know, actually continue to store physical books in a library? Would like to know more about this robotic system! #academicsky #robotethics #techethics

Our work on design and ethical recommendations for robotic mental well-being coaches was presented by Prof. Gunes at #HRI2025, at the T-HRI invited talks session! Sad I couldn't be there in person, fingers crossed for the next HRI...

I just returned from #Japan, where I gave a talk on moral rights for #robots and participated on a panel on Regulating Social Robots at Kyushu University. I met so many great people working on #robotethics. Special thanks to Yueh-Hsuan Weng for letting me hang out with your Lovot!
