Abstract
This article describes the philosophy, design, and
prototype implementation of an operator override system
intended for use in managing unmanned robotic systems capable
of lethal behavior. The ethical ramifications associated with the
responsibility assignment of such a system are presented, which
guide the development of the proof-of-concept system that serves
as the basis for the simulation results presented herein.
