Relational Enhancement: A Framework for Evaluating and Designing Human-Robot Relationships

2016

Conference: Proceedings of the AAAI Workshop on AI, Ethics, and Society

Jason R. Wilson and Thomas Arnold and Matthias Scheutz

Much existing work examining the ethical behaviors of robots does not consider the impact and effects of longterm human-robot interactions. A robot teammate, collaborator or helper is often expected to increase task performance, individually or of the team, but little discussion is usually devoted to how such a robot should balance the task requirements with building and maintaining a “working relationship” with a human partner, much less appropriate social relations outside that team.
