The case for an intervention scale to design the balance of authority for robotic assistance (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Van Maris, A., Sumpter, L., Ruiz Garate, V., Kumar, P., Harper, C., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2021). The case for an intervention scale to design the balance of authority for robotic assistance. In S. Bringsjord, M. Osman Tokhi, M. Isabel Aldinhas Ferreira, N. Sundar Govindarajulu, & M. F. Silva (Eds.), Life-world for Artificial and Natural Systems - ICRES 2021 Proceedings (21-23)

According to United Nations, by 2050 over 20% of the population will be over 65 years old. Ensuring that our ageing population stays independent and healthy for as long as possible requires higher numbers of health and social care professionals than...

Standards and regulations for physically assistive robots**Research supported by Lloyds Register Foundation, under the Assuring Antonomy International Programme. In 2021 IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Safety for Robotics (ISR) (259-263). https://doi.org/10.1109/isr50024.2021.9419508

In this paper we consider the regulations that currently exist in relation to supporting people in the home and in different care settings. Using existing standards and guidelines that relate to assistive technology and care in the UK, we consider wh...

Towards an ontological framework for environmental survey hazard analysis of autonomous systems (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Caleb-Solly, P., & Harper, C. (2021). Towards an ontological framework for environmental survey hazard analysis of autonomous systems.

This paper presents current progress in the development of Environmental Survey Hazard Analysis (ESHA), a method of preliminary hazard identification aimed at autonomous system application problems. In addition to performing their design mission, aut... Read More about Towards an ontological framework for environmental survey hazard analysis of autonomous systems.
