Abstract
The workshop 'Assertions in ethics of environmental robotics' will use a provocation format to elicit discussion with the attending audience in an interactive debate. A provocation, defined as "the action of provoking or inciting" [1], will present potentially polarising opinions related to the topic of environmental and ethical robotics. This extended abstract introduces the format of the interdisciplinary workshop.
