Outline of Research at the Start

The researcher wants to investigate the intersection between law and human-robot interaction (HRI) with a focus on the role of value-sensitive design (VSD) and its potential to be used as a mean to transfer computer codes into the code-driven soft law for emerging data governance on social robots.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

As the achievements in the second year, I have been invited as the speaker to international conferences IRIS 2024 (Salzburg, Austria), ALSA 2023 (Hsinchu, Taiwan), PRAEVENIRE Symposion 2023 (Vienna, Austria). For international academic collaboration, the research topic has been developed into guest lectures to Australian National University and National Taiwan University. The progress of the book chapter at The Cambridge Handbook on the Law, Policy, and Regulations for HRI will be published in June 2024. In the meantime, my coauthored paper is published at Jusletter IT. For the promotion to the study of (value-sensitive) design centered governance for social robots I am organizing a workshop at IEEE ICRA 2024 (Yokohama, Japan) with Jim Torreson from University of Oslo.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

The two-and-half-year project includes three main parts as theoretical study, affective computing and privacy by design, informed consent in HRI. The second part affective computing and privacy by design has been successfully realized as well. The research output is submitting as a coauthored journal article “AI-assisted Design for Better Privacy Communication in Human-Robot Co-Existence” at Jusletter IT.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

Along with the initial plans, the project has step by step completed the theoretical study, the study of affective computing and privacy by design smoothly. The last part informed consent in HRI will need to use facilities for empirical study, such as living lab for social robots. Hence, the focus in the last year will be on how to use living lab to implement HRI experiments to investigate possible prototypes of privacy by design for HRI consent.
