  Overview
|
This research addresses the ethical dimensions of robotic weaponry and involves the generation of
"an artificial conscience" for an intelligent autonomous robotic agent. By applying limits and
constraints on a robot's actions as required by the bounds of existing ethical decision-making
protocols (e.g., the Geneva Convention, rules of engagement, and other ethical and military
requirements).
In particular, this research investigates the ethical application of lethal force by weaponized robotic systems from an architectural perspective as well as from the perspective of operator-robot interaction.

  Software
|
- We are using MissionLab
for our research. MissionLab takes high-level plans and executes them with teams of real or
simulated robots. MissionLab supports execution of
multiple robots both in simulation and hardware
platforms.
