Dante Marino and Guglielmo Tamburrini : Learning robots and human responsibility
نویسنده
چکیده
Epistemic limitations concerning prediction and explanation of the behaviour of robots that learn from experience are selectively examined by reference to machine learning methods and computational theories of supervised inductive learning. Moral responsibility and liability ascription problems concerning damages caused by learning robot actions are discussed in the light of these epistemic limitations. In shaping responsibility ascription policies one has to take into account the fact that robots and softbots – by combining learning with autonomy, pro-activity, reasoning, and planning – can enter cognitive interactions that human beings have not experienced with any other non-human system.

Robot Ethics: A View from the Philosophy of Science
Robot ethics is a branch of applied ethics which endeavours to isolate and analyse ethical issues arising in connection with present and prospective uses of robots. These issues span human autonomy protection and promotion, moral responsibility and liability, privacy, fair access to technological resources, social and cultural discrimination, in addition to the ethical dimensions of personhood ...
متن کاملEthical Reflections on Health Care Robotics
The rapid developments of robotics technologies in the last twenty years of the XX century have greatly encouraged research on the use of robots for surgery, diagnosis, rehabilitation, prosthetics, and assistance to disabled and elderly people. This chapter provides an overview of robotic technologies and systems for health care, focussing on various ethical problems that these technologies giv...
متن کاملSocial Robotics and Societies of Robots
The sustainability of social robotics, like other ambitious research programs, depends on the identification of lines of inquiry that are coherent with its visionary goals while satisfying more stringent constraints of feasibility and nearterm pay-offs. Within these constraints, this paper outlines one line of inquiry that seems especially viable: development of a society of robots operating wi...

NeuroSymbolic Processing: Non-Monotonic Operators and Their FPGA Implementation
Recalling the insights of McCulloch and Pitts [4], von Neumann [9] and Minsky [5] we introduce some non monotonic operators implemented by means of new electronic devices (FPGA) for a NeuroSymbolic Processor (NSP). Some nets performing logical and arithmetic functions are also presented.
