“…A further complication is emergent behaviors that unexpectedly may appear out of the complexity of several interacting behaviors (see e.g. Matarić, and Michaud 2008). The consequences of learning and emergence of behaviors may be described in the product specification when a robot leaves the factory, but it is not clear how developers or users of this robot can be held responsible for its future actions.…”

This article discusses mechanisms and principles for assignment of moral responsibility to intelligent robots, with special focus on military robots. We introduce the concept autonomous power as a new concept, and use it to identify the type of robots that call for moral considerations. It is furthermore argued that autonomous power, and in particular the ability to learn, is decisive for assignment of moral responsibility to robots. As technological development will lead to robots with increasing autonomous power, we should be prepared for a future when people blame robots for their actions. It is important to, already today, investigate the mechanisms that control human behavior in this respect. The results may be used when designing future military robots, to control unwanted tendencies to assign responsibility to the robots. Independent of the responsibility issue, the moral quality of robots' behavior should be seen as one of many performance measures by which we evaluate robots. How to design ethics based control systems should be carefully investigated already now. From a consequentialist view, it would indeed be highly immoral to develop robots capable of performing acts involving life and death, without including some kind of moral framework.

A robot introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals as conspecifics, and capable of interacting with them is a very efficient tool for ethological research, particularly in studies of collective and social behavior. In this paper, we present the implementation of an autonomous mobile robot developed by the authors to study group behavior of chicks of the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). We discuss the design of the robot and of the experimental setup that we built to run animal-robot experiments. The robot design was experimentally validated, it was demonstrated that the robot can be socially integrated into animal groups. The designed system opens new opportunities in the study of behavior in domestic fowl by using mobile robots. Being socially integrated into the animal group, mobile robots can profit from the positive feedback mechanism that plays key roles in animal collective behavior. They have potential applications in various domains, from pure scientific research to applied areas such as control and ensuring welfare of poultry.

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords:Robot telecontrol Semiautonomous robot System architecture Human-robot interfaceThe design and development of a computational system to support robot-operator collaboration is a challenging task, not only because of the overall system complexity, but furthermore because of the involvement of different technical and scientific disciplines, namely, Software Engineering, Psychology and Artificial Intelligence, among others. In our opinión the approach generally used to face this type of project is based on system architectures inherited from the development of autonomous robots and therefore fails to incorpórate explicitly the role of the operator, i.e. these architectures lack a view that help the operator to see him/herself as an integral part of the system. The goal of this paper is to provide a human-centered paradigm that makes it possible to créate this kind of view of the system architecture. This architectural description includes the definition of the role of operator and autonomous behaviour of the robot, it identifies the shared knowledge, and it helps the operator to see the robot as an intentional being as himself/herself.
