Socio-technical approach to molecular robotics from the viewpoints of legality, ethics, economics and education
Project Outline
"Molecular robotics," which is positioned in the interdisciplinary fields of AI, robots and nanobiotechnology, is opening the previously unknown door of biomolecular robots with intelligence and sensibility. In spite of the rapid development of molecular robotics, there have never been sufficient discussions from the standpoint of social technology.
In this Project, we will extract issues to be solved to enable molecular robots to be accepted by society, and investigate approaches to discuss them from the standpoint of ethics, law, economy and education.
