Toward the Human-Robot Co-Existence Society: On Legislative Consortium for Social Robotics

Yueh-Hsuan Weng, Conscription Agency, Ministry of the Interior

Abstract

Emerging trends associated with Next Generation Robots point to the day when robots will enter human society in large numbers, however the co-exist scenario between human and robots is not necessarily promising. The success of the coming Human-Robot Co-Existence Society will depend a great deal on how well robotists, manufacturers, and legislators deal with Robot Sociability Problems. The author will address these issues from a legal perspective, and argue in favor of organizing a Legislative Consortium for Social Robotics as an international interdisciplinary platform for purposes of analyzing robot sociability issues and establishing core values for domestic legislators to abide by.
