Kybernetica.com > Guide to robot ethics set for publication
[Engadget] Well at least one group of roboticists aren't taking the danger lying down, and next month are set to release the first comprehensive guide to robot ethics since Isaac Hayes Asimov laid down his three famous rules over 60 years ago. Members of the European Robotics Research Network (Euron) have identified five major areas that need to be addressed before intelligent, self-aware bots start rolling off the assembly line -- safety, security, privacy, traceability, and identifiability -- so that humans can both control and keep track of their creations while ensuring that the data they collect is used only for its intended purposes.

[weBlogArt] AV Festival '06: Without the inspiration and drive of Newcastle creative Jeff Cleverley there would have been no AV Festival in 2003 and so its fitting that UMAMi, his new collective of audio visual artists, take centre stage (literally) at the gala and transform the mighty concourse spaces of Norman Fosters The Sage Gateshead. The pure whiteness of the space will be transformed into living, breathing, technicolour happenings with cutting edge projection technology from Projected Image Digital.

[Physics.about.com] Physics: Even though humans develop a sense of touch before other senses, it has been very difficult to create a similar mechanism for robots. This makes some elements of manual dexterity very hard to duplicate, because robots receive no sensory information about how their hand relates to the item being handled.
