Article
Full-text available
Developing an authentic understanding of potential users’ needs and translating these into usable categories as an input to research and development is an open problem. It is generally accepted that genuine knowledge of user needs is essential for the creation of any new technology. For assistive robots, however, this knowledge is even more importa...
Article
Full-text available
This article proposes an integrative approach to robotics research, based on bringing interdisciplinarity into the lab. Such an approach will facilitate researchers across various fields in gaining a more nuanced understanding of technology, how it is developed, and its potential impacts. We describe how a philosopher spent time embedded in robotic...
Article
Full-text available
The field of human–robot interaction (HRI) is young and highly inter-disciplinary, and the approaches, standards and methods proper to it are still in the process of negotiation. This paper reviews the use of qualitative methods and approaches in the HRI literature in order to contribute to the development of a foundation of approaches and methodol...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This work illustrates our investigation on robotics researchers' viewpoints on the ethical dimension of robotics. In this study we analyse data collected from researchers in robotics in order to understand their perspective on an attempt of regulation of robotics in the EU. The collected data come from different research labs in robotics across the...
Article

This article investigates the development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a global profession with a specific focus on the role of ethics. It addresses three main issues: To what extent ethics contribute to the development of the professional identity of ICT practitioners; what practices and policies can promote the development of...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This paper proposes an alternative approach to evaluating Human- Robot Interaction (HRI), drawing on the field of Anthropology. Considering the user in the traditional robot-environment dyad has major practical and philosophical implications. This paper contends that the traditional scientific method, by itself, is not sufficient to account for the...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This paper describes the adoption, implementation and empirical evaluation of Action Design Research (ADR) during an 18-month Industry-Academic research partnership. It details the theoretical basis for our research and the selection of ADR as the overarching approach. It describes our adoption of an explicitly interpretivist perspective to answer...
Conference Paper
This paper reports on a research project investigating the development of ICT as a profession with a specific focus on the role of ethics. It addresses three main issues: to what extent ethics contribute to the development of the professional identity of ICT practitioners; what practices and policies can promote the development of ICT ethics; how t...
Conference Paper
This paper describes the process of investigating a number of different research methodologies in order to select a suitable approach for an effective Industry-Academic collaborative research project. The research project in question is a 15-month research partnership between a global financial organisation and a research team from a university ins...
Article
This research project was launched by the European Commission Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry as part of the European Commission’s on-going e-skills agenda. The specific objective of WP5 is to develop proposals for a pan-European institutional and governance framework for the ICT profession, and as such it is also part of an on-goin...
