Guest Lecture Focus Innovations in robotics are now present in many aspects of human endeavour, from robotic vacuum cleaners to autonomous battlefield drone swarms. Alongside the intended effects of these innovations are some emerging, unintended adverse consequences. Legal and political processes exist in part to prevent and mitigate such harms. This presentation offers a systematic analysis of the emerging routes by which applications of embodied artificial intelligence—robotics—elicit public policy responses. It develops a typology that classifies robotics applications according to how they interact with individual humans, large-scale human populations, and specific physical settings; and whether the robots operate alone, in swarms, or in integrated cyberenvironments. Each case interacts with public policymaking processes in different ways, spanning tort liability law, regulatory codes and standards, and policies for assessing and managing risk. Clear roles emerge for voluntary standards, international collaboration among governance bodies, professionals cross-trained in robotics and public policy, and institutions that effectively anticipate emerging problems.

IAS/IES Chicago Technical Meeting – Industrial LED Lighting

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/420346

Cory Cook, Sam Boege, and Vishnu Shastry of Dialight will provide a presentation on Industrial LED lighting. Lighting is of critical importance in industrial facilities to maximize both safety and productivity. Industrial sites are notorious for harsh conditions that can contribute to premature fixture failure Sites must consider how their lights are engineered, constructed, and tested prior to specification.
