Robots and Society: Ethical, Legal, and Technical Perspectives on Integrating Robots in the Home- and Healthcare Systems and Services (RO-SO).
Vis sammendrag
The RO-SO tutorial is a continuation of the previous tutorials regarding robots, ethics, legal, and technical aspects. The tutorial is part of the 30th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (ROMAN 2021). It focuses on providing an overview and discussing the ethical, legal, and technical perspectives, including challenges, dilemmas, and advantages and opportunities of integrating robots as part of home- and healthcare systems and services. The following two questions will guide the overall objective for this tutorial, but these will not limit the talks:
How does the meaning of good care change when we integrate robots as part of the home- and healthcare systems and services? What does good care mean when we integrate assistive robots as part of the home- and healthcare services?
What are some of the ethical, legal, and technical challenges and opportunities when integrating assistive care robots in the home- and healthcare services?

ACHI-CSCW: Exploring Computer-Human Interactions in New Contexts of Computer Supported Cooperative Work.
Vis sammendrag
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a field studying how cooperative work in a cooperative ensemble is supported by computers and technologies and how these contribute or hamper the cooperation between people. This editorial paper covers the ACHI-CSCW special track, giving an overview of the special track's accepted contributions. The paper presents the track, which was structured in three sessions, covering classic CSCW, CSCW in education, and challenging classic CSCW. In total, nine papers were accepted. Finally, a summary of each of the papers and final conclusions some suggestions for future directions is presented in this editorial paper.

Understanding Robot Motion in Domestic Settings.
Vis sammendrag
This paper is a conceptual, empirical, and philosophical exploration of the ways we experience the motion of things. The paper aims to understand better how humans understand the motion of semi-autonomous things. The paper focuses on two perspectives of understanding (robot) motion: 1) through familiarity and a phenomenological approach; and 2) through legibility as a qualitative attribute of motion. Finally, seeing motion through the lenses of these two concepts adds to the development of an understanding of communication or interaction between humans and moving things, and the human relationship to motion.

Supervisor for the master thesis: "The Privacy-Preserving Capabilities of a Service Robot in a Scenario-based Healthcare Setting - Providing de-identification with face obfuscation through a face recognition system" (Master candidate: Sarfraz, Burhan Mohammad).

Vis sammendrag
As the population ages and people’s life expectancy increases, there is a need for more
healthcare personnel. The worrying sign is that the number of people who educate
themselves to become healthcare personnel is predicted to decrease in the coming years.
One countermeasure for the decreasing workforce is introducing service robots into the
healthcare sector. The introduction of service robots in the healthcare sector raises
numerous privacy challenges. There is the question of ensuring service robots follow
current laws and regulations regarding personal data collection and privacy like humans
and the introduction of robots from a well-controlled industrial environment to an
unconstrained healthcare environment populated by humans. This thesis focuses on the
privacy aspect of the Vulnerability in Robot Society project and machine ethics using
the service robot TIAGo from PAL Robotics. The aim is to investigate how a service
robot can provide de-identification for the privacy protection of individuals it encounters
while performing autonomous tasks in an unconstrained healthcare environment. The
proposed privacy-preserving method for de-identification is face obfuscation through
a face recognition system. With the face obfuscation method, the face recognition
system can be considered a privacy-enhancing technology since it tries to enhance the
privacy-preserving capabilities of the service robot. The results from the scenario-based
experiment, which replicates a doctor’s office as an unconstrained healthcare setting,
show that the face recognition system is unreliable with decreased robustness when
multiple real-life conditions, such as pose variation, occlusion and illumination, are
present as they negatively affect the system. Since the face obfuscation method is
interconnected and integrated into the face recognition system, it depends entirely on a
well-functioning face recognition system to function correctly. Thus, it cannot preserve
the privacy of individuals, making the service robot not comply with current laws and
regulations for privacy and correct personal data collection, storage and processing.
This master thesis is part of the Robotics and Intelligent Systems research group, and
the Vulnerability in Robot Society project at the University of Oslo. The Norwegian
Research Council funds the Vulnerability in Robot Society project with project number
288285.

This note is a compilation of several evaluations that were done as part of the UD-Robots project. The
method used is based on WCAG-EM and initially introduced by Al-Qbilat. We have given it a name:
Accessible Socially Assistive Robots Evaluation Method (ASAR-EM). We evaluate 5 robots: a NAO, a
Pepper, AV1, Berntsen, and Tiago, and present the results from the evaluation.

Notes from Literature about Universal Design, Accessibility & Robots.
Norsk Regnesentral.
Vis sammendrag
This document collects results from a search that was done to find out what research have been done regarding universal design and accessibility of robots. The search turned up 13 articles in this topic. Articles about universal design focused more on how an environment could be made to be universally designed for a robot. There were also several articles about how robots can be an assistive technology for people with vision impairment or hearing impairment. There were a couple of articles that raised the topic of accessibility requirements for a robot. This was further developed in a PhD thesis from earlier this year that provides a promising starting point for future work.
