ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Ethical themes  Personal integrity and identity  Responsibility  Autonomy  Fair access application of precautionary principles, impact of human-machine cognitive and affective bonds, trust, delegation, accountability, warfare applications…

ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Contributions to standards shifting attention from limitation to encouragement, guidance, and promotion of responsible scientific and technological research.

ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Roadmaps for techno-ethical research  The “Roadmap for Techno-Ethical Research” on the integration of human beings and artificial (hardware/software) entities will take the form of a comprehensive document (task 5.4; deliverable D10).  It will be based on the charting of extant scientific and technological work in robotics, bionics, and Artificial Intelligence for information and communication systems, on projections about near future developments, on the triage of techno-ethical issues in view of European society objectives, needs, and problems
