Abstract
This paper presents the motivation, basis and a
prototype implementation of an ethical adaptor capable of
using a moral affective function, guilt, as a basis for altering a
robot’s ongoing behavior. While the research is illustrated in
the context of the battlefield, the methods described are
believed generalizable to other domains such as eldercare and
are potentially extensible to a broader class of moral emotions,
including compassion and empathy.
