Abstract

Abstract Rapid advances in digital technologies have allowed robots to become more autonomous and efficacious than ever before. Future developments in robotics hold the potential to transform human robot interactions. We can expect to see robots performing a variety of functions in public spaces. Possibilities exist for robots to greatly improve the quality of our lives and to contribute positively to the safety, creative potential, and atmosphere of public spaces. But as this trend develops, the risk emerges of robots transforming public spaces and social interactions in undesirable ways. By reviewing previous public policy approaches to harnessing and regulating disruptive technology, we consider how public policy could simultaneously enhance opportunities created by the presence of robots in public spaces and reduce the risks of undesirable outcomes. We summarize key insights into a policy design checklist to guide policies on robots in public spaces. These insights cover (1) safety, (2) privacy and ethics, (3) productivity, (4) esthetics, (5) co-creation, (6) equitable access, and (7) systemic innovation.

公共空间中的机器人:对政策设计的影响
数字技术的快速发展使机器人比以往任何时候都更加自主和高效。机器人技术的未来发展有可能改变人机交互。我们可以期待看到机器人在公共场所执行各种功能。机器人有可能极大地改善我们的生活质量,并为公共空间的安全、创造潜力和氛围做出积极贡献。但随着这一趋势的发展,机器人以不受欢迎的方式改变公共空间和社会互动的风险出现了。通过回顾以往利用和监管颠覆性技术的公共政策方法,我们考虑了公共政策如何同时增加机器人在公共空间中的存在所创造的机会,并减少不良后果的风险。我们总结了政策设计清单的关键见解,以指导公共空间机器人的政策。这些见解包括(1)安全,(2)隐私和道德,(3)生产力,(4)美学,(5)共同创造,(6)公平获取,以及(7)系统创新。
