ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Timeline Months 0-6:  joint preparation and discussion of three tutorials on technological states of the art  The three internal reports will constitute deliverable D1 (Fraunhofer).

ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Timeline Months 7-12: M1: workshop (to be held in Italy), whose aims are  to set-up a common language and a methodological framework for the joint analysis of techno-ethical issues that will be carried out in WP3;  to start the definition of the methodology for the joint identification of techno-ethical issues  to identify an initial set of ethical issues to be analyzed during the project;  Tutorials. to present the states of the art in the three broad technological areas considered (AI for communication and information, robotics and bionics), in the form of tutorials;  to present and discuss the timeline of events (workshops and public events) to be carried out, as previously planned by the Scientific Board;

ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Timeline Months 13-18:  An internal meeting will be held with the following aims:  to start task T3.3 (Analysis of techno-ethical issues), and to jointly contribute and finalize deliverable D2;  to collect and discuss materials related to WP4 activity (Proposal of standards and recommendations for the EU);  to validate the internet-based public access information system;  to define a plan for refresher courses (T5.2).  Public events with interest groups, journalists, policy makers will be organized. Some of these public events may take the form of multimedia streaming events, supported by the internet-based public access information system.

ETHICBOTS Emerging Technoethics of Human Interaction with Communication, Bionic, and Robotic Systems Timeline Months 19-24:  M3: organization of the second workshop (to be held in Germany), which aims at presenting and discussing the major WP results achieved so far. Notably,  the proposed methodology for the joint identification and analysis of techno- ethical issues (T3.1)  the set of techno-ethical issues identified in the framework of task T3.2  the ongoing analysis of the identified techno-ethical issues  the analysis of national and international ethical regulations identified in the framework of T4.1, and the status of advancement of the ongoing activity of task T4.2  the status of the dissemination activities.  Other public events, as in the last six-months period, will be organized.  Organization of 1 internal meeting (towards the end of the project), to which the whole consortium is invited to participate, for the organization and discussion of deliverable D10, “Roadmap for techno-ethical research”.
