Question 1

Which chess champion did Deep Blue defeat?

Accepted Answer

Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov four years before Watson competed on Jeopardy.

Question 2

What is the name of the research program trying to mimic the motor and cognitive development of babies in robots?

Accepted Answer

The project is led by Javier Movellan,who is now tackling that very question,leading a team of cognitive scientists,engineers,developmental psychologists,and roboticists.

Question 3

What program created a human-like thinking machine that competed on Jeopardy?

Accepted Answer

IBM's Watson built on the successes of the earlier Deep Blue program to defeat the two top Jeopardy champions of all time.

Question 4

In identifying which human rights would be protected under roboethics,what two documents were referenced?

Accepted Answer

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)and the Treaty of Lisbon (2000)were referenced to identify which human rights would be important for outlining rights in roboethics.

Question 5

What researcher wants to create an assessment system based on foresight and knowledge?

Accepted Answer

Renè von Schomberg believes it is necessary to establish the overlap of knowledge from different areas because the quality of knowledge will determine the ethical value of the applications that follow.

Question 6

The rapid development of research and applications for the personal service sector that coincided with the increased interest and contributions invested into advanced robotics since 2003 marks the end of which era?

Accepted Answer

Fiorella Operto refers to this period as the end of the Robot Segregation era.

Question 7

How much money did Watson bet when it was asked to wager on a Daily Double question before crashing?

Accepted Answer

Watson stunned observers by betting only $5 on a Daily Double.

Question 8

The statement "The most important moral obligation is our personal relationship with the action of making or using robots" defines what school of ethics?

Accepted Answer

Virtue ethics examines the relationship between the actor and action.

Question 9

Which events related to World War II are identified as cases that changed the notion of responsibility?

Accepted Answer

These two cases are cited as examples by Operto as changing the notion of responsibility and challenging the differentiation of roles.

Question 10

What is the name of Hiroshi Ishiguro's robotic double?

Accepted Answer

He calls his robotic double Geminoid.

Question 11

Whose research in science and society has sustained the idea that technoscientific knowledge stabilizes in society?

Accepted Answer

Sheila Jasanoff,along with other researchers,believes knowledge stabilizes via a process of negotiation.

Question 12

Who coined the Three Laws of Robotics?

Accepted Answer

Science fiction writer Isaac Asimov conceived of the three laws in the 1940s.

Question 13

The notion that our actions may have consequences that are extremely difficult to estimate,which may even be opposite to our intentions,defines what concept?

Accepted Answer

Heterogenesis of Ends implies that the consequences of our actions may be unintended.

Question 14

According to Operto,what other systems besides robotics may contribute to solving many open human issues?

Accepted Answer

Bionics systems might solve many open human ethics issues along with robotics.

Question 15

Karel Capek derived the word "robot" from what language's word for serf labor or drudgery?

Accepted Answer

Czech writer Karel Capek looked to his own language for the term.

Question 16

What does Movellan point out are innate to human babies that would have to be programmed into a robot?

Accepted Answer

Movellan believes certain needs motivate humans to learn more and use their skills or strengths,a motivation that would need to be programmed into robots.

Question 17

The Euron Roboethics Altier,Ethicbots,and Coordination Action for Robotics in Europe are three projects that?

Accepted Answer

The three projects consider how to integrate robots into future society.

Question 18

What does Operto call "one of the central themes of applied ethics"?

Accepted Answer

Responsibility analyzes the identity of the agent and the motivations of that agent to act in a certain way.

Question 19

The notion that once an action is taken by an agent,it lives a life of its own that combines with different environmental conditions and the final result is beyond the agent's predictive abilities,is what concept?

Accepted Answer

Morin's Ecology of Action supposes that once taken,actions will produce consequences that are unpredictable beyond a certain point.

Question 20

Which fields will probably raise more urgent and entangled ethical issues in robotics?

Accepted Answer

Biorobotics and robotics military applications represent the most probable candidates for urgent issues in robotics because of the advanced stage of research and prototypes that have already impacted questions of ethics,regulations and laws.
