sekitar 10 tahun yang lalu,
a baby dinosaur robot upside down.
robot bayi dinosaurus secara terbalik.
that I had ordered,
Saya yang memesannya.
because I've always loved robots.
saya suka robot.
technical features.
fitur teknis keren.
was a tilt sensor,
sensor miring,
so I was showing it off to my friend,
jadi saya tunjukkan ke teman saya,
See what it does."
Lihat apa yang dia lakukan."
the theatrics of this robot
aksi dramatis robot ini
to make it stop crying.
agar berhenti menangis.
a weird experience for me.
maternal person at the time.
saya bukan orang yang keibuan.
a mother, nine months ago,
9 bulan lalu,
when you hold them upside down.
kalau dipegang terbalik.
was also interesting
juga menarik
how this machine worked,
cara kerja mesin ini,
compelled to be kind to it.
tetap bersikap baik padanya.
mencari jawabannya.
was that my treatment of this machine
perlakuan saya pada mesin ini
in my living room,
di ruang tamu saya,
integrating robots into our lives,
mengintegrasikan robot dalam kehidupan,
might actually have consequences,
mungkin saja punya konsekuensi,
is that it's not just me.
bukan hanya saya
reported that the United States military
bahwa militer Amerika Serikat
that defused land mines.
was it was shaped like a stick insect
membentuk serangga tongkat
around a minefield on its legs,
mengelilingi ladang ranjau,
one of the legs would blow up,
kakinya akan meledak,
to blow up more mines.
meledakkan lebih banyak ranjau.
of this testing exercise
latihan percobaan ini
drag itself along the minefield.
di sepanjang ladang ranjau.
a hardened military officer
seorang perwira militer tangguh
by science fiction and pop culture
fiksi ilmiah dan budaya pop
hardwired to project intent and life
untuk menyoroti hasrat dan kehidupan
that seems autonomous to us.
yang tampak otonom bagi kita.
of robots like they're alive.
segala macam robot seakan mereka hidup.
with gun salutes.
even with very simple household robots,
robot sederhana di rumah pun bisa,
around your floor to clean it,
menelusuri lantai untuk bersih-bersih,
around on its own
when it gets stuck under the couch.
tersangkut di bawah sofa.
specifically to evoke this response,
khusus untuk membangkitkan respons ini,
ataupun gerakan
subconsciously associate
menyatukannya
called human-robot interaction
bernama interaksi manusia-robot
at Stanford University found out
di Standford University menemukan,
sangat tidak nyaman
a robot's private parts.
bagian pribadi robot
respond to the cues given to them
yang diberikan
where robots are everywhere.
robot ada di mana-mana.
from behind factory walls.
balik dinding pabrik,
and make autonomous decisions and learn
membuat keputusan sendiri, dan belajar,
analogy we have for this
we started to domesticate animals,
kita mulai menjinakkan hewan,
and weaponry and companionship.
dan persahabatan.
some animals like tools or like products,
sebagian hewan seperti alat atau produk,
we've treated with kindness
as our companions.
dalam bermasyarakat.
to integrate robots in similar ways.
memperlakukan robot dengan cara yang sama.
from working with roboticists,
saya beri tahu
robots that can feel anything.
robot yang bisa merasa.
robots into these shared spaces,
robot ke ruang bersama ini,
treat them differently than other devices,
diperlakukan berbeda dari alat lainnya,
who becomes emotionally attached
jadi terikat secara emosional
from inefficient to dangerous.
it can actually be useful
connection to robots.
dengan robot.
contoh manfaatnya,
with autistic children

that we haven't seen previously,
yang belum pernah kita tahu sebelumnya,
kids in learning with new results.
anak dalam belajar dengan hasil baru
can help doctors and patients
bisa membantu dokter dan pasien
and with dementia patients.
dan untuk pasien demensia.
being at a party
saat di sebuah pesta,
tentang robot ini,
robots instead of human care."
bukan perawatan manusia."
it's not what this robot replaces.
bukan soal apa yang robot gantikan.
adalah terapi hewan
we can't use real animals
menggunakan hewan sungguhan,
them more like an animal than a device.
mereka seperti hewan bukannya alat.
connection to robots
pada robot ini
mengantisipasi tantangan
areas of people's lives.
ke area intim kehidupan manusia.
if your child's teddy bear robot
jika robot beruang teddy anak Anda
has compelling in-app purchases?
menarik pembelian dalam aplikasi?
consumer protection and privacy.
perlindungan konsumen dan privasi.
these machines could matter.
mesin ini memiliki arti.
initial experience I had
pengalaman pertama saya
with my friend Hannes Gassert.
menggelar lokakarya.
of these baby dinosaur robots
for about an hour.
dengan mereka selama sekitar satu jam.
a hammer and a hatchet
and kill the robots.
menyiksa dan membunuh robot itu.
a little more dramatic
would even so much as strike
mau memukul
and at some point, we said,
dan kami berkata,
if you destroy another team's robot."
asal Anda hancurkan robot tim lain"
They couldn't do it.
Mereka tidak sanggup.
a hatchet to one of them."
and he took the hatchet,
as he brought the hatchet down
mengayunkan kapak
half-serious moment of silence in the room
mereka mengheningkan cipta
interesting experience.
study, obviously,
later research that I did at MIT
saya lakukan di MIT
and smash these HEXBUGs
ke laboratorium dan menghantam HEXBUG
lifelike way, like insects.
seperti serangga.
that people are drawn to,
sehingga orang tertarik,
was that high-empathy people
orang yang tinggi rasa empatinya
penelitian yang lebih besar
that there may be a connection
mungkin ada hubungan
of human-robot interaction
era interaksi robot-manusia nanti
people's empathy?"
rasa empati manusia?"
from kicking a robotic dog,
more likely to kick a real dog?
menendang anjing sungguhan?
but it's on a completely new level
tapi di tingkat yang berbeda
that we respond more intensely to
kita lebih merespons
that are designed to mimic life,
didesain meniru kehidupan,
for violent behavior
perilaku kasar yang sehat
the potential to impact human behavior,
yang berdampak pada perilaku manusia,
to impact social norms,
pada norma sosial,
around what we can and can't do
apa yang bisa dan tak bisa kita lakukan
might matter for us.
itu yang penting bagi kita.
we end up changing our rules,
peraturannya atau tidak,
come to a new understanding of ourselves.
mendapatkan pemahaman baru atas diri kita.
over the past 10 years
lebih dari 10 tahun
berhubungan dengan orang lain.
bersikap baik pada Roomba,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kate Darling - Robot ethicistKate Darling investigates the relationship between humans and robots -- now, and in the future.
Why you should listen
Robots are taking increasingly bigger roles in life and business -- moving well beyond manufacturing and into transportation, education, medicine, care for the elderly, our offices and our homes. But ethics and law haven't caught up. Kate Darling, a pioneer in these fields, is helping quicken the pace.
A leading expert in robot ethics, Darling is a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab where she investigates social robotics and conducts experimental studies on human-robot interaction. Darling explores the emotional connection between people and life-like inventions, seeking to influence technology design and policy direction. Her writing and research anticipate difficult questions that lawmakers, engineers and the wider public must address as human-robot relationships evolve in the coming decades.
While her background is in intellectual property and law and economics, Darling's passion for technology and robots led her to interdisciplinary fields. She's a former Fellow and current Affiliate at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and a former fellow at the Yale Information Society Project, and she's an affiliate at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.
Her work has been featured in Vogue, The New Yorker, The Guardian, BBC, NPR, PBS, The Boston Globe, Forbes, CBC, WIRED, Boston Magazine, The Atlantic, Slate, Die Zeit, The Japan Times and more. She is a contributing writer to Robohub and IEEE Spectrum and speaks and holds workshops covering some of the more interesting developments in the world of robotics, and where we might find ourselves in the future.
Darling graduated from law school with honors and holds a doctorate of sciences from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and an honorary doctorate of sciences from Middlebury College. In 2017, the American Bar Association honored her legal work with the Mark T. Banner award in Intellectual Property. She is the caretaker for several domestic robots, including her Pleos Yochai, Peter, and Mr. Spaghetti. She tweets as @grok_ about eating cheerios for dinner.
