Funded Activity Summary

Advancing Policy Design for Robots in Public Spaces. Advances in robotics are set to transform service delivery, health care, and other social services. How will this affect our shared public spaces? Well-informed policy design will be critical. Experience with automobiles shows new technologies can profoundly reshape public spaces for all citizens; for good or ill. This project explores how policy design can ensure robots operate safely in public space and protect public interests. It will develop a feasible, flexible, and replicable method for incorporating citizen experience and insights into policy design to manage the growing presence of robots in Australian public spaces. The resulting method is intended to support successful technology adoption and inform human-centred robotics design.
