公共空間を行くロボットは、いつ誰に道を譲るべきか
人間の移動は、社会的合図と相互調整に大きく依存しています。私たちは本能的に松葉杖をついた人に道を譲り、救急隊員のために通路を確保し、微妙な身振りや視線のやり取りを通じて互いに進路を譲り合います。現在のロボットにはこうしたコミュニケーション手段が欠如しており、根本的な課題が生じています。公共空間で稼働するロボットは、周囲の人間に対して自らの優先権をどう伝達すべきでしょうか。

Since 2002, Bern has been involved with transportation-related innovation, standards, and regulatory research for road pricing, parking management, automated vehicles, and now the robots designed to clean and inspect sidewalks, deliver groceries, secure neighbourhoods, operate autonomous wheelchairs at hospitals and airports, and scrub floors at the mall. Before that, he founded PCI Geomatics to develop AI for image analysis systems for earth-imaging satellites. He has degrees in Human Factors Psychology from the University of Toronto and Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo.
