Implications for Law, Policy, and Regulation*
from Part I - An Introduction to the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human–Robot Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2024
In this chapter we review the status of human–robot interaction (HRI) including current research directions within robotics that may impact issues of law, policy, and regulations. While the focus of this book is on HRI experienced in social contexts, to provide a broad review of the legal and policy issues impacted by HRI, we discuss different areas of robotics that require various levels of human interaction and supervisory control of robots. We note that robots have evolved from continuous human-controlled master–slave servomechanisms for handling nuclear waste to a broad range of robots incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), which are under human supervisory control but becoming more autonomous. Further, we note that research on human interaction with robots is a rapidly evolving field and specialized robots under human teleoperation have proven successful in hazardous environments and for medical and other applications. There is also a noticeable trend for more humanoid-appearing and AI-enabled robots interacting with humans in social contexts, and for this class of robots we discuss emerging issues of law, regulations, and policy.
