Ethical Challenges in the Human-Robot Interaction Field

Robotics 2021-04-20 v1

Abstract

The aim of this extended abstract is to introduce five examples of ethical issues in HRI that could have potential ethical implications, particularly on HRI participants. We consider these examples important to discuss in order to reach a consensus on how to handle them. Due to space limitations, this list is far from exhaustive and we hope that it can lead to a wider discussion that stimulates HRI researchers to think ethically. Previous work has shown a trend of underreporting ethical conduct in the HRI field; in this extended abstract we consider some of the ethical issues that could arise in HRI research.
