Kate Darling on the Future of Robotics and AI Ethics

The Robot Report Podcast · 24 Oct 2023 · 1h 35m

What this episode covers

Dr. Kate Darling, research lead for ethics and society at the AI Institute, discusses the intersection of robotics and social science with hosts Steve Crow and Mike Oitzman. They cover the recent RoboBusiness 2023 event, highlighting the industry's focus on humanoids like Agility Robotics' Digit and Figure AI's robot, as well as the integration of Generative AI in robotics. Darling shares her perspective on human-robot interaction, using the Stop & Shop Marty robot and public perception of autonomous vehicles like Waymo and Cruise to illustrate the social challenges of deploying robots in shared spaces.

    Episode 57: The ethics of new technology - Kate Devlin

    Kate Devlin, a Reader in AI and Society at King's College London, discusses the social and ethical implications of robotics and AI, including job displacement, privacy erosion, and inequality. She highlights concerns regarding surveillance technologies like Ring doorbells and police drones, noting how they exacerbate power imbalances and lack public consent. In the second half, Devlin explores technology and intimacy, arguing that AI companionship can be a positive force for loneliness, while cautioning against the technological and financial impracticality of humanoid robots compared to non-humanoid social robots like Paro.

    Episode Fifty-Four: Robot Talk Live - Robotics and Science Fiction

    Clare Asher hosts a live discussion at the Great Exhibition Road Festival with Glyn Morgan of the Science Museum, Bani Anvari of University College London, and Thrishantha Nanayakara of Imperial College London to explore the intersection of robotics and science fiction. Glyn Morgan argues that science fiction serves as a cognitive tool and 'laboratory of the mind,' shaping public perception through iconic figures like Robbie the Robot and R2-D2 while often misdirecting debate toward 'robot uprisings' rather than real-world ethical issues. Bani Anvari details her research on intelligent mobility, including drone logistics, autonomous shuttles, and haptic feedback in vehicles, highlighting the gap between predictable environments and unpredictable edge cases involving vulnerable road users. Thrishantha Nanayakara explains how his Morphlab uses soft robotics to study biological principles, such as mountain goat hooves, and applies these insights to develop robotic patients for medical training and environmental monitoring robots for the Alps.

    525: Some Sort of Metal

    Dr. Tom Williams, a computer science professor at the Colorado School of Mines and author of 'Degrees of Freedom: On Robotics and Social Justice,' discusses the intersection of robotics, ethics, and social justice. He argues that roboticists must consider societal impacts, citing Waki Kamino’s research on MLB’s automated ball-strike system and the teleoperation of robots like EngKey. Williams advocates for integrating ethics into engineering education through methods like participatory design and improvisation to address issues of race, gender, and labor.

    207: I Love My Robot Monkey Head

    Professor Ayanna Howard of Georgia Tech discusses her research on humanoid robots interacting with children with special needs, focusing on kinematic modeling, robot operating system (ROS), and the psychological phenomenon of human-robot trust. She explains how robots like the Nao and Darwin Mini are used to study emotional responses and behavioral nuances, while also addressing the risks of over-trusting autonomous systems like self-driving cars. The conversation covers educational robotics platforms like Lego Mindstorms and Dash & Dot, and Howard's work with EngineerGirl.org to mentor young women in engineering.
