Abstract
As robots are increasingly integrated into human society, associated problems will resemble or merge with those in other fields, we can refer to this as “Robot Sociability Problem”. In this paper, the author analyzes the dynamic relationship among Robot Ethics, Robotics, and Robot Law at the beginning, and then proposes a “Practical Robots” attitude for solving Robot Sociability Problem. Due to “Practical Robots” attitude is based on legal regulations, therefore the author posits that a functional platform like “Legislative Consortium for Social Robotics” is crucial at the initial stage for social robotics development. In the conclusion, the author believes that Legislative Consortium for Social Robotics will be a useful approach for solving robot sociability problem, especially those emerging global legal issues which are related to autonomous robots.
