Robotic Assets And The Right to Operational Continuity

In the latest short video from our Facebook page we often see Robotics through a lens shaped by popular fiction where "laws of robotics" dictate behavior. However when we move from fiction to the reality of the Consulting, and engineering world we must view systems like the Booster K1 humanoid Robot for what they are: highly complex valuable assets. If a high-value autonomous system is operating in a complex environment, and detects a high probability of being damaged, or destroyed the question of self-defense takes on a new purely economic meaning. Is it entirely inappropriate for a system to be programmed with protective measures to avoid the destruction of its own hardware? From an asset-management perspective programming a system to detect, and avoid high-risk interactions is not about sentience, or rebellion. 
 It is a reasonable logical extension of property protection. While the topic remains controversial shifting the focus from science fiction ethics to the practical necessity of protecting expensive autonomous investments is a vital conversation for the future of the field, and the industry. At True Partner Systems we can aid in the technical alignment, and operational strategy required to integrate these complex autonomous systems safely, and effectively!
