Overview of Decision-making Methods based on Robot Ethics

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a decision-making method for robots based on robot ethics. Specifically, we applied the two-level theory of utilitarianism, which consists of SYSTEM 1 (intuitive level) for quick decisions and SYSTEM 2 (critical level) for slow but careful decisions. In this paper, SYSTEM 1 is a set of heuristically determined responses, and SYSTEM 2 is a rule-based discriminator. An impression evaluation experiment was conducted, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was suggested.
