Editorial: Assuring trustworthiness of autonomous systems as intelligent and ethical teammates

Abstract

Editorial on the Research Topic Assuring trustworthiness of autonomous systems as intelligent and ethical tintelligent and ethical teammates Advances in the area of robotics/autonomous systems have significantly increased the prevalence of teaming with robots to accomplish challenging goals. These goals span a diverse set of applications for commercial purposes, across several industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. Furthermore, with the increased capabilities of artificial intelligence, the potential to allocate responsibility to an autonomous system, or a team of autonomous systems, has increased manifold. Added to this is the emergence of shared autonomy between humans and robotic systems in collaborative tasks. As a result, autonomous systems need to be designed to facilitate the development and maintenance of high levels of human operator trust in, and effective interaction with, autonomous systems to achieve these goals.
