Can robots perform actions, make decisions, collaborate with humans, be our friends, perhaps fall in love, or potentially harm us? Even before these things truly happen, ethical and philosophical questions already arise. The reason is that we humans have a tendency to spontaneously attribute minds and “agency” to anything even remotely humanlike. Moreover, some people already say that robots should be our companions and have rights. Others say that robots should be slaves. This book tackles emerging ethical issues about human beings, robots, and agency head on. It explores the ethics of creating robots that are, or appear to be, decision-making agents. From military robots to self-driving cars to care robots or even sex robots equipped with artificial intelligence: how should we interpret the apparent agency of such robots? This book argues that we need to explore how human beings can best coordinate and collaborate with robots in responsible ways. It investigates ethically important differences between human agency and robot agency to work towards an ethics of responsible human-robot interaction.
The twenty-seven papers cover recent advances in both empirical and theoretical aspects of man-machine interaction with special emphasis on the subjects of man-automation and man-computer interaction. They provide information on a subject which has grown rapidly in importance during recent years.
The discipline of design studies applies various technologies, from basic theory to application systems, while intelligence engineering encompasses computer-aided industrial design, human-factor design, and greenhouse design, and plays a major part within design science. Intelligence engineering technologies also include topics from theory and application, such as computational technologies, sensing technologies, and video detection. This book presents the proceedings of DSIE2023, the 2023 International Symposium on Design Studies and Intelligence Engineering, held on 28 & 29 October 2023 in Hangzhou, China. The conference provides a platform for professionals and researchers from industry a...
This six-volume-set (CCIS 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computing, Information and Control, ICCIC 2011, held in Wuhan, China, in September 2011. The papers are organized in two volumes on Innovative Computing and Information (CCIS 231 and 232), two volumes on Computing and Intelligent Systems (CCIS 233 and 234), and in two volumes on Information and Management Engineering (CCIS 235 and 236).
人-机-环境系统工程是运用系统科学理论和系统工程方法,正确处理人、机、环境三大要素的关系,深入研究人-机-环境系统最优组合的一门科学。系统中的“人”,是指作为工作主体的人(如操作人员或决策人员);“机”是指人所控制的一切对象(包括工具、机器、系统和技术)的总称;“环境”,是指人、机共处的特定工作条件。人-机-环境系统最优组合的基本目标是“安全、高效、经济”。“安全”,是指不出现人体的生理危害或伤害,并避免各种事故的发生;“高效”,是指全系统具有最好的工作性能或最高的工作效率;“经济”,就是在满足系统技术要求的前提下,系统的建立要投资最省。
