| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research adopts a unique viewpoint of human-robot interaction (HRI) and investigates the intersection between data protection and healthcare robots with a comparative analysis to recent trends of AI ethics and data governance in Japan, Europe and the United States.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this project is to understand how intelligent robots’ characteristics of “embodiment” influence current data-driven privacy regulations. It includes two main parts as theoretical review, and HRI experiments. Research outputs have been published at the Cambridge Handbook, IEEE Conference Paper and Stanford Working Paper.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The embodiment characteristics of healthcare robots allows new possibilities for human-robot interaction (HRI). This impacts their relationship with the law. Among them, the legal concern on privacy and data protection associated with embodiment in HRI is the main focus of this research project.
