Robot Co-design Can Help Us Engage Child Stakeholders in Ethical Reflection
summary
Shows that two co-design workshops with 2nd–5th graders run as ~3-hour sessions produce concrete ethical reasoning: children sketch and build prototypes, use Peerbots teleoperation and a cell phone face to test interactions, and discuss scripted six–ten sentence stories. Findings: kids generally want authority over robots but will cede control in self-devised emergency scenarios; they spot privacy and hacking risks in secret‑telling, and propose concrete fixes like a “smart but honest” robot plus clear manual prompts.
