consistent with the Laws of War and Rules of Engagement is
presented.

This paper provides an overview, rationale, design, and prototype
implementation of a responsibility advisor for use in autonomous
systems capable of lethal target engagement. The ramifications
surrounding the potential use of operator overrides is also
presented. The results of this research have been integrated into
the MissionLab mission specification and demonstrated on a
relevant military scenario.

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.
