Outline of Final Research Achievements

The results of this research are, (1) conducting demonstration experiments for the social implementation of interactive intelligent robots that obey and make people obey the law, (2) proposing new methods of law compliance using communicative intelligence robots, (3) verifying the behaviour of interactive robots which make people obey the law, and (4) handling information in a rumour-telling robot.
As a presentation and suggestion for the formation of new rules, "Research and Development of Robots to Promote Compliance with Laws and Regulations" and "Promotion of Compliance with Laws and Regulations Using Robots" have been conducted. The research was conducted not from the traditional perspective of researching how to comply with laws, regulations and other rules such as social norms in the operation and use of robots, but based on a shift in thinking in which robots are used to demand legal compliance from humans (natural persons).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

対話メディアの社会実装で生ずる新たな事象への抜本的な対応と社会的受容を目指す上で必須となる倫理・社会制度の新知見を提示した。対話知能及びロボットの研究開発及び社会実装に必要な検討事項についての調査・国内外での議論を総合的に実施した。人間機械共生社会おいて生じうる法的、倫理的、社会的課題について市民と研究者が話し合う場を創設した。マルチステークホルダーが対等な立場で議論に参加し、ロボットを人間が手本とする社会、ロボットが人間の能力に合わせて能力を調整する関係性など、ロボットと共に生きる社会の新たな価値観を提示し新学術領域としての対話知能学の啓蒙に寄与した。
