Robot Companions as Case-Scenario for Assessing the “Subjectivity” of Autonomous Agents. Some Philosophical and Legal Remarks
In this paper the European flagship project proposal Robot Companion for Citizens (RCC), grounded on the idea of developing robot companions for citizens, is taken as a case scenario for investigating the feasibility of ascribing rights and duties to autonomous robots from a legal and philosophical standpoint. In talking about rights and duties with respect to robots endowed with autonomous dec...
متن کاملLong-term affect sensitive and socially interactive companions
This paper presents some of the requirements for the design of long-term affect sensitive and socially interactive companions. Research conducted in the EU project LIREC (LIving with Robots and intEractive Companions) envisage some capabilities including affect sensitivity, memory and learning, cognitive and expressive behaviour, personalisation and embodiment, highlighting the key issues that ...
متن کاملThe Huggable: A Platform for Research in Robotic Companions for Eldercare
Robotic companions are one new type of technology being created to assist and care for elders. One important research question is how should such systems be designed? In this paper we present the Huggable, a new type of robotic companion which is being designed to function as both a fully autonomous robot and semi autonomous robot avatar. In this paper we describe how the semi autonomous robot ...
متن کاملForgetting and Generalisation in Memory Modelling for Robot Companions: a Data Mining Approach
The idea of a robot as a long-term companion has not been widely accepted and sometimes not even considered or imagined. Hence, several issues should be addressed in order to facilitate this long-term human-robot interaction. This work focuses on the memory modelling for artificial companions and its forgetting processes by proposing a novel approach based on hierarchical classification data mi...
متن کاملResearch Issues for Designing Robot Companions: BIRON as a Case Study
Current research in robotics is driven by the goal to achieve a high user acceptance of service robots for private households. This implies that robots have to increase their social aptness in order to become a robot companion that is able to interact in a natural way and to carry out tasks for the user. In this paper we present the Bielefeld Robot Companion (BIRON) as an example for the develo...
