FRR strives for responsible and accountable developments in robotics without stifling innovation, says co-founder Noel Sharkey. Primary goal of FRR is to foster conversation about the human purposes that are implicit in the design of robots to ensure that these human purposes are made as transparent as possible and thus, open for challenge and debate.
