  1. Robotic Ethics Shahid Iqbal Tarar

  2. Robotics and Ethics • A new science or an integral part of Engineering? • Actually Discipline born from Computer Science, AI, Mechanics, Physics/Maths, Electronics, Automation and control and cybernetics • Specifics of Robotics • Humanity is at the threshold of replicating an intellegent and autonomous agent • Complex concepts (like learning, conciousness, decision making, freedom, emotions etc. ) may not have the same semantic meaning for humans, animals and machines

  3. Robotics and Ethics • Draws on many disciplnes like logic, neuroscience, biology, philosophy, natural history and arts. • Robotics de facto unifies two cultures, science and humanities • The primary precondition for Robotic ethics is the unity of these cultures

  4. Robotics • Introduction • Three Laws of Robotics introduced by Isaac Asimov in 1942 • A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. • A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. • A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. • Later, Asimov added the Zeroth Law: • "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm"; the rest of the laws are modified sequentially to acknowledge this.

  5. Robots Robots are ”just machines” Robots have ethical dimensions Robots are moral agents Robots present evolution of a new species

  6. Robotic Ethics • Humanoid • Artificial mind • Artificial body • Benefits • Problems • Recommendations • Safety • Security • Tracebility • Indentifiability • Privacy

  7. Advanced production systems • Industrial Robotics • Adaptive robot servants and intellgent homes • Indoor Service Robots • Ubiquitous Robotics • Network Robotics (Internet Robotics, robot Ecology)

  8. Out door Robotics (Land, Seas, Air, Space) • Robotics in Health care and life quality • Surgical robots • Bio-robotics • Assistive robots • Robotics in Computation • Military Robotics • Intellegent weapons • Robot Soldiers • Superhumans • Education and Entertainment • Robot Toys • Educational robots

  9. Ethics in Robotics Might be seen as consisting of • The ethical norms built into robots • The ethics of design and production of robots • The ethics of handling/use of robots
