摘要:

机器人事故不可避免。虽然很少见,但自从20世纪60年代装配线机器人首次引入以来,这种情况就一直在发生。但新一代的社交机器人现在正变得司空见惯。通常,复杂的嵌入式人工智能(AI)社交机器人可能被部署为护理机器人,以帮助老年人或残疾人独立生活。智能机器人玩具为儿童提供了令人信服的互动游戏体验,自动驾驶汽车(AV)的功能越来越强大,有望实现免提个人交通工具和全自动出租车。与部署在安全笼中的工业机器人不同,社交机器人被设计为在人类环境中运行并与人类密切互动;因此,社交机器人发生事故的可能性比工业机器人大得多。本文提出了一个社会机器人事故调查的框架草案;该框架提出了一种技术和流程,可以让社会机器人事故的调查不亚于我们对航空或铁路事故调查的期望。本文还将事故调查置于负责任的机器人实践中,并认为没有事故调查的社会机器人与没有航空事故调查的航空一样不负责任。

英文摘要:

Robot accidents are inevitable. Although rare, they have been happening since assembly-line robots were first introduced in the 1960s. But a new generation of social robots are now becoming commonplace. Often with sophisticated embedded artificial intelligence (AI) social robots might be deployed as care robots to assist elderly or disabled people to live independently. Smart robot toys offer a compelling interactive play experience for children and increasingly capable autonomous vehicles (AVs) the promise of hands-free personal transport and fully autonomous taxis. Unlike industrial robots which are deployed in safety cages, social robots are designed to operate in human environments and interact closely with humans; the likelihood of robot accidents is therefore much greater for social robots than industrial robots. This paper sets out a draft framework for social robot accident investigation; a framework which proposes both the technology and processes that would allow social robot accidents to be investigated with no less rigour than we expect of air or rail accident investigations. The paper also places accident investigation within the practice of responsible robotics, and makes the case that social robotics without accident investigation would be no less irresponsible than aviation without air accident investigation.
