This book contains the Proceedings of the International Conference on Robot Ethics, held in Lisbon on October 23 and 24, 2015. The conference provided a multidisciplinary forum for discussing central and evolving issues concerning safety and ethics that have arisen in various contexts where robotic technologies are being applied. The papers are intended to promote the formulation of more precise safety standards and ethical frameworks for the rapidly changing field of robotic applications. The conference was held at Pavilhão do Conhecimento/Ciência Viva in Lisbon and brought together leading researchers and industry representatives, promoting a dialogue that combines different perspectives and experiences to arrive at viable solutions for ethical problems in the context of robotics. The conference topics included but were not limited to emerging ethical, safety, legal and societal problems in the following domains: • Service/Social Robots: Robots performing tasks in human environments and involving close human-robot interactions in everyday households; robots for education and entertainment; and robots employed in elderly and other care applications • Mobile Robots: Self-driving vehicles, autonomous aircraft, trains, cars and drones • Robots used in medicine and for therapeutic purposes • Robots used in surveillance and military functions

BOOK EXCERPT:
Insect robots, inspired by the agility and resilience of insects, are emerging as innovative tools in disaster recovery efforts. These small, agile robots are designed to navigate through tight spaces, unstable environments, and hazardous conditions that are often inaccessible to human responders. Their ability to operate autonomously or in swarms makes them particularly effective in large-scale disasters where speed and efficiency are crucial. As technology continues to advance, insect robots are poised to play an increasingly vital role in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of disaster recovery operations, providing invaluable support in the race against time to save lives. Exploring the Micro World of Robotics Through Insect Robots delves into the futuristic field of insect robotics and their pivotal role in disaster recovery scenarios. Encompassing a diverse array of subjects ranging from microcontroller principles and sensor advancements to ethical considerations and policy implications, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on the transformative potential of insect-inspired technologies in disaster response efforts. Covering topics such as advanced algorithms, machine learning, and robot swarms, this book is an excellent resource for emergency management professionals, robotics engineers and developers, public safety and security agencies, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and more.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES & MCKINSEY 2020 BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR One of Fortune Best Books of the Year One of Inc. Best Business Books of the Year One of The Times (UK) Best Business Books of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice From an Oxford economist, a visionary account of how technology will transform the world of work, and what we should do about it From mechanical looms to the combustion engine to the first computers, new technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. For centuries, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. But as Daniel Susskind demonstrates, this time really is different. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of jobs are increasingly at risk. Drawing on almost a decade of research in the field, Susskind argues that machines no longer need to think like us in order to outperform us, as was once widely believed. As a result, more and more tasks that used to be far beyond the capability of computers – from diagnosing illnesses to drafting legal contracts, from writing news reports to composing music – are coming within their reach. The threat of technological unemployment is now real. This is not necessarily a bad thing, Susskind emphasizes. Technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of humanity’s oldest problems: how to make sure that everyone has enough to live on. The challenges will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, to constrain the burgeoning power of Big Tech, and to provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the center of our lives. Perceptive, pragmatic, and ultimately hopeful, A World Without Work shows the way.
