  3. COMPANAIAN BOTS IN MARKET WIDELY USED ROBOT COMPANIONS • CleanMate • Dressman • RoboMower • Aibo • Spykee • Wakamaru • RIBA • DiGORO

  4. Future of Social Robots • By 2050,Imagine every home will have a robot as a member of their family!!! • If these robots can feel pain, should they be granted certain rights? • If robots develop emotions, as some experts think they will, should they be allowed to marry humans? • Should they be allowed to own property? Do they be provided with citizenship?

  5. ISSAC ASIMO’S LAWS 1.A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

  6. Ethical and Social Issues • Automated robots or robots commanded by humans? • Emotional robots • Robots can affect human relationships • Robots may affect human’s privacy

  7. Privacy Disclosure of information: a) existence of malware b) behavior of robot in front of others c) design (fault programming, on purpose)

  8. Elderly and Robot Companions • Usually suffer from isolation – loneliness Issues raised by usage of Robot Companions: • Robots’ Reaction in different situations • Robots’ Tolerance • Robots’ Responses

  9. Children and Robot Companions • Robot nannies Ethical and social issues • Privacy • Restraints • Deception • Accountability • Psychological Damage

  10. Robots; rights and legislation Robots’ rights • Robot Ethics Charter • (ISO, 2006a) has set of rules—especially ISO 10218-1:2006 • Further study : legislation – children’s negligence
