Robot Ethics
(Kathleen Richardson)
The Ethics of Robotics is an exciting growth area as robots become an increasing part of everyday life: from advances in robotics in industry, the workplace and the military, to the developments in robotics for the more intimate spheres of human life as companions, carers and as therapeutic agents.
We invite papers to reflect on the ethics of robots in all these areas, and ask contributors to propose papers that reflect on the way robots are raising new questions about human-machine culture, relationality and phenomenal questions of human existence.
We are interested in the ways in which the ethics of care, human existence, human companionship, warfare and work are reshaped by robotics.
We invite papers to reflect on these themes and encourage papers from philosophers, anthropologists, sociologists and others and encourage new perspectives from fields as diverse as feminism, dialogical phenomenology, psychotherapy, arts and humanities as well as the classical domains of AI research, computer science, cognitive science and robotic fields. We welcome new research initiatives and perspectives.
Track Topics Welcomed (but not limited to):
• Robots as therapeutic agents
• Robots in the military
• Robots and the changing workplace
• Robots as companions for adults with attachment difficulties
• Robots and empathy
• Robot and human interaction
• Robots in arts and the humanities
