1. 1. Autonomous Systems in Society and War : Philosophical Inquiries

   Författare :Linda Johansson; Sven Ove Hansson; Philip Brey; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; UAVs; drones; military robots; laws of war; justification for killing; ethics of care; care robots; functional morality; moral responsibility; Moral Turing Test; robot morality; artificial agent; artificial agency; autonomy; norms; disruptive technology; co-evolution; scenarios; autonomous systems; security; decision guidance; technology assessment;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to look at some philosophical issues surrounding autonomous systems in society and war. These issues can be divided into three main categories. The first, discussed in papers I and II, concerns ethical issues surrounding the use of autonomous systems – where the focus in this thesis is on military robots. LÄS MER

3. 2. Mobility Management and Localizability for Cellular Connected UAVs

   Författare :Irshad Ahmad Meer; Cicek Cavdar; Mustafa Ozger; Ki Won Sung; Halim Yanikomeroglu; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Unmanned aerial vehicles; Localization; Service availability; Air-to-ground channel; Mobility; Handover; Unmanned aerial vehicles; Localization; Service availability; Air-to-ground channel; Mobility; Handover;

   Sammanfattning : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) connected to cellular networks present novel challenges and opportunities in mobility management and localization, distinct from those faced by terrestrial users. This thesis presents an integrated approach, combining two key aspects essential for the integration of UAVs with cellular networks. LÄS MER

4. 3. Mobility and Routing in a Delay-tolerant Network of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

   Författare :Erik Kuiper; Simin Nadjm-Tehrani; Roberto Baldoni; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mobility models; routing; ad hoc networks; delay-tolerant networks; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning : Technology has reached a point where it has become feasible to develop unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), that is aircraft without a human pilot on board. Given that future UAVs can be autonomous and cheap, applications of swarming UAVs are possible. LÄS MER

5. 4. Positioning Algorithms for Surveillance Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

   Författare :Per-Magnus Olsson; Patrick Doherty; Lars Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Unmanned aerial vehicles; surveillance; communication relay; label- correcting; dual ascent; Steiner trees; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning : Surveillance is an important application for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The sensed information often has high priority and it must be made available to human operators as quickly as possible. Due to obstacles and limited communication range, it is not always possible to transmit the information directly to the base station. LÄS MER

7. 5. Robots and Moral Agency

   Författare :Linda Johansson; Sven Ove Hansson; Björn Petersson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; machine ethics; UAV; laws of war; robot morality; moral agency; Moral; Turning Test; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Sammanfattning :   Machine ethics is a field of applied ethics that has grown rapidly in the last decade. Increasingly advanced autonomous robots have expanded the focus of machine ethics from issues regarding the ethical development and use of technology by humans to a focus on ethical dimensions of the machines themselves.
