Responsible Robotics: Shaping our Future with Robotics

In this workshop, we intend to bring together multiple disciplines from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to define the field of responsible robotics for guiding designers, developers, and policy-makers in the area of robotics. Furthermore, this workshop will bridge divides between academia, industry, and policy making sectors to ensure a fluent and unobstructed dialogue between any and all current and future stakeholders.

To accomplish this, we will bring together the current lead figures in these sectors – the most visible and active individuals in research, policy, and industry engaged in responsible robotics – that can guide the future development and deployment of robotics technology.

By the conclusion of this workshop, we will have accomplished two goals: first, we will create a working definition of responsible robotics to guide the field; second, we will create a roadmap for designers, developers, and academics to pave the way towards responsible robotics development in Europe.
