Abstract As a pioneer of Information Ethics, Prof. Capurro had created “The Quest for Roboethics: A Survey” and spontaneously updated relevant information about ethical issues in robotics since 2010. He had participated many key European projects such as ETHICBOTS (2005-2008), ETICA (2009-2012), and CA-RoboCom which was a candidate project of EU FET Flagship initiatives. Besides, Prof. Capurro […]
Abstract:In April 2016, British Standards Institution (BSI) published the world’s first ethical standard for the design, produce, selling, and usage in social robots – “BS 8611: 2016Robots and robotic devices”. BS 8611 gives guidelines to identify ethical hazards and reduce associatedrisks into an acceptable level. Its role could be crucial for ensuring emerging human-robot relationships. […]
Abstract: The concept “One being for Two origins” from a teaching of Buddha to consider the unification of technology, nature, and human beings. It comes from the theory of the three aspects: The two values of the “Good”, the “Bad”, and “Muki” (Avyakata). Then the theory of “One being for Two origins” follows the theory […]
Abstract: How can robotics help to enhance the development of modern arts? Japan’s famous playwright, stage director Oriza Hirata and leading roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro launched the “Robot Theatre Project” at Osaka University to explore the boundary between human-robot interactions through many robot theater. Their work includes Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters”, Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, and […]
