机器人从实验室迁移到敏感的家庭环境中，作为商业上可用的治疗剂，代表了信息隐私和道德要求的重大转变。我们提出了新的隐私范例，并应用公平信息实践（FIPs）来调查在私人家庭环境中放置治疗机器人的独特问题。然后，我们探讨了研究伦理的重要性和效用，通过现有的人类受试者研究框架来指导治疗机器人用户的考虑——这是对这些平台的持续研究和开发至关重要的一步。隐私和研究伦理框架共同提供了两种互补的方法来保护用户，并确保负责任而稳健的信息共享，以促进技术发展。我们对这些原则的实施提出了建议——特别关注适用于弱势群体（即儿童、残疾人或老年人）的具体原则——以促进在私人环境中长期、负责任和研究型机器人的采用和持续改进。
The migration of robots from the laboratory into sensitive home settings as commercially available therapeutic agents represents a significant transition for information privacy and ethical imperatives. We present new privacy paradigms and apply the fair information practices (FIPs) to investigate concerns unique to the placement of therapeutic robots in private home contexts. We then explore the importance and utility of research ethics as operationalized by existing human subjects research frameworks to guide the consideration of therapeutic robotic users—a step vital to the continued research and development of these platforms. Together, privacy and research ethics frameworks provide two complementary approaches to protect users and ensure responsible yet robust information sharing for technology development. We make recommendations for the implementation of these principles—paying particular attention to specific principles that apply to vulnerable individuals (i.e., children, disabled, or elderly persons)—to promote the adoption and continued improvement of long-term, responsible, and research-enabled robotics in private settings.
