A new robot capable of learning ownership relations and norms
by Ingrid Fadelli , Tech Xplore
A team of researchers at Yale University has recently developed a robotic system capable of representing, learning and inferring ownership relations and norms. Their study, pre-published on arXiv, addresses some of the complex challenges associated with teaching robots social norms and how to conform with them.
As robots become more prevalent, it is important for them to be able to communicate with humans both effectively and appropriately. A key aspect of human interactions is understanding and behaving according to social and moral norms, as this promotes positive co-existence with others.
