Governing Lethal Behavior: Embedding Ethics in a Hybrid Deliberative/Reactive Robot Architecture PART 2: Formalization for Ethical Control

摘要

This paper, the second in a series, provides the theory and formalisms for the implementation of an ethical control and reasoning system potentially suitable for constraining lethal actions in an autonomous robotic system, so that they fall within the bounds prescribed by the Laws of War and Rules of Engagement. It is based upon extensions to existing deliberative/reactive autonomous robotic architectures.
