Summary:

The book documents practical investigations into some aspects of robot transparency, particularly within the context of unplanned naive robot encounters. In this context, 'robot transparency' means the extent to which a naive observer is able to form an accurate model of a robot's capabilities, intentions and purpose. This work has 1. established an empirical basis for some of the ethical concerns outlined in the previous sections, 2. established whether there is a moral requirement for us to build transparent robots, 3. provided a basis for the future study of robot anthropomorphism, 4. investigated the claim that transparency impacts the emotional response towards a robot and alters the perception of robot intelligence, making transparency inappropriate for children's toys and robot companions.
