Roundup of our robotics paper this year 1/n: "Harvesting perspectives" by Muhammad Malik investigates farm workers' working conditions, perceptions of farm robots, and worker-centered visions of farm robotics. #ROMAN2025 #HRI #robots #AI #ResponsibleAI doi.org/10.1109/ro-m...

Robots powered by popular AI models are currently unsafe for general purpose real-world use. Researchers from @kingsnmes.bsky.social & @cmu.edu evaluated how robots that use large language models (LLMs) behave when they have access to personal information. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/robots-...

We'll be at #AIES2025 presenting Atmadeep's work on Postcolonial Ethics for Robots www.martimbrandao.com/papers/Ghosh... We: - analyse 7 major roboethics frameworks, identifying gaps for the Global South - propose principles to make AI robots culturally responsive and genuinely empowering

Our paper on safety & discrimination of LLM-driven robots is out! doi.org/10.1007/s123... We find LLMs are: - Unsafe as decision-makers for HRI - Discriminatory in facial expression, proxemics, security, rescue, task assignment... - They don't protect against dangerous, violent, or unlawful uses

Hello world! We are CRAIL. Our goal is to contribute to Responsible AI, and to use it for civil society and empowering marginalized groups. Follow us to hear about risks and social impact of AI, critical examinations of AI fields, and new algorithms towards socially just and human-compatible tech.
