Ética y robótica
Para responder adecuadamente a la cuestión referida en el título, es necesario aclarar antes de nada los diferentes significados que el término “ética” puede asumir dentro del debate moderno. Surgen de este término, si se mira con atención, diferentes significados según el nivel elegido y la perspectiva adoptada. Intentamos, seguidamente realizar una sintética (y necesariamente esquemática) enumeración de los aspectos y de las principales cuestio…
Models for Surrogative Stimulation
Occasionally, in science, models are used to stimulate other systems rather than to perform surrogative reasoning. More specifically, in what is called surrogative stimulation, a model is used to stimulate a focal system in order to learn how it would respond to the system represented by the model. This article proposes a methodological reconstruction of the surrogative stimulation strategy and addresses the so-called model evaluation problem in …
How culture modulates anthropomorphism in Human-Robot Interaction
Anthropomorphism is the tendency to attribute human-like characteristics to nonhuman agents, including robots. In the context of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research, it is relevant to understand what factors are at play in modulating individuals' anthropomorphism towards robots. This literature review addresses whether and how people's culture, which we identified as a potential factor of interest, affects their tendency to attribute anthropom…
Folk-Ontological Stances Towards Robots and Psychological Human Likeness
It has often been argued that people can attribute mental states to robots without making any ontological commitments to the reality of those states. But what does it mean to ‘attribute’ a mental state to a robot, and ‘to make an ontological commitment’ to it? It will be argued that, on a plausible interpretation of these two notions, it is not clear how mental state attribution can occur without making any ontological commitment. Taking inspirat…
Experimental and Integrative Approaches to Robo-ethics. An Introduction
Computer simulations and surrogative reasoning for the design of new robots
Computer simulations are widely used for surrogative reasoning in scientific research. They also play a crucial role in engineering, more specifically in the design of new robotic systems, yet the nature of this role has been little discussed so far in the philosophy of technology literature. The main claim made in this article is that the notion of surrogative reasoning is central to understanding how computer simulations can serve the purpose o…
Interactive biorobotics
Biological accuracy in large-scale brain simulations
Large-scale simulations of brain mechanisms
In recent years, a number of research projects have been proposed whose goal is to build large-scale simulations of brain mechanisms at unprecedented levels of biological accuracy. Here it is argued that the roles these simulations are expected to play in neuroscientific research go beyond the “synthetic method” extensively adopted in Artificial Intelligence and biorobotics. In addition we show that, over and above the common goal of simulating b…
Model testing, prediction and experimental protocols in neuroscience
Scientific models and ethical issues in hybrid bionic systems research
Biorobotic Experiments for the Discovery of Biological Mechanisms
Robots are being extensively used for the purpose of discovering and testing empirical hypotheses about biological sensorimotor mechanisms. We examine here methodological problems that have to be addressed in order to design and perform “good” experiments with these machine models. These problems notably concern the mapping of biological mechanism descriptions into robotic mechanism descriptions; the distinction between theoretically unconstraine…
