The Empirical Turn in Robot Ethics: Reconciling Theoretical Thought Experiments with Practical Reality

ICRA 2026poster

The inclusion of robots in daily life presents significant ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) that stem from their interactions with humans. Social robots are able to operate in environments that are rich in cultural norms, emotions, and social cues, leading to critical questions about p…

Self-Modifying Morphology Experiments with DyRET: Dynamic Robot for Embodied Testing

ICRA 2019poster

If robots are to become ubiquitous, they will need to be able to adapt to complex and dynamic environments. Robots that can adapt their bodies while deployed might be flexible and robust enough to meet this challenge. Previous work on dynamic robot morphology has focused on simulation, combining sim…

Two-Stage Transfer Learning for Heterogeneous Robot Detection and 3D Joint Position Estimation in a 2D Camera Image Using CNN

ICRA 2019poster

Collaborative robots are becoming more common on factory floors as well as regular environments, however, their safety still is not a fully solved issue. Collision detection does not always perform as expected and collision avoidance is still an active research area. Collision avoidance works well f…
