Full Description

Scope

The standard establishes a set of ontologies with different abstraction levels that contain concepts, definitions and axioms which are necessary to establish ethically driven methodologies for the design of Robots and Automation Systems.

Purpose

The standard establishes a set of definitions and their relationships that will enable the development of Robotics and Automation Systems in accordance with worldwide Ethics and Moral theories, with a particular emphasis on aligning the ethics and engineering communities to understand how to pragmatically design and implement these systems in unison. These definitions allow for a precise communication among global experts of different domains that includes Robotics, Automation and Ethics.The use of ontologies for representing knowledge in any domain has several benefits that include a) formal definition of concepts of a particular domain in a language-independent representation, i.e., they are not dependent of a specific programming language, however, they are formally described to be implemented in a target language; b) tools for analyzing concepts and their relationships in searching of inconsistency, incompleteness and redundancy; c) language for being used in the communication process among Robots from different manufacturers; etc.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.This standard establishes a set of ontologies with different abstraction levels that contain concepts, definitions, axioms and use cases which assist in the development of ethically driven methodologies for the design of Robots and Automation Systems. It focuses on the Robotics and Automation domain, without considering any particular application or robot, and can be used in multiple ways, for instance, during the development of Robotics and Automation Systems as a guideline; or as a reference "taxonomy" to enable a clear and precise communication among members from different communities that include Robotics and Automation, Ethics, and correlated areas. Users of this standard need to have a minimal knowledge on formal Logics to understand the axiomatization expressed in Common Logic Interchange Format.Additional information can be found at https://standards.ieee.org/industry-connections/ec/autonomous-systems.html
