The author examines the philosophical basis, motivation, theory, and design recommendations for the implementation of an ethical control and reasoning system in autonomous robot systems, taking into account the Laws of War and Rules of Engagement. \u003cbr\u003eThe book presents robot architectural design recommendations for\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePost facto suppression of unethical behavior, \u003cbr\u003eBehavioral design that incorporates ethical constraints from the onset, \u003cbr\u003eThe use of affective functions as an adaptive component in the event of unethical action, and \u003cbr\u003eA mechanism that identifies and advises operators regarding their ultimate responsibility for the deployment of autonomous systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt also examines why soldiers fail in battle regarding ethical decisions; discusses the opinions of the public, researchers, policymakers, and military personnel on the use of lethality by autonomous systems; provides examples that illustrate autonomous systems ethical use of force; and includes relevant Laws of War. \u003cbr\u003eHelping ensure that warfare is conducted justly with the advent of autonomous robots, this book shows that the first steps toward creating robots that not only conform to international law but outperform human soldiers in their ethical capacity are within reach in the future.
