The central claim of the paper is that the development and control of Cyber-Physical
Production Systems (CPPS) requires a systematic approach to handle and include explicit …

Enabling autonomous systems to comply with an ethical theory is critical given their
accelerating deployment in domains that impact society. While many ethical theories have …

Although experts carefully specify the high-level decision-making models in autonomous
systems, it is infeasible to guarantee safety across every scenario during operation. We …

As artificial intelligence (AI) models continue to scale up, they are becoming more capable
and integrated into various forms of decision-making systems. For models involved in moral …

Starting with metareasoning for planning, we offer two metareasoning approaches that
enable autonomous systems to determine the optimal stop** point of anytime algorithms …

Springer, in cooperation with Politecnico di Milano, publishes the PoliMI Springer-Briefs,
concise summaries of cutting-edge research and practical applications across a wide …

In many sequential decision-making problems, ethical compliance is enforced by either
myopic rule sets or provisional modifications to the objective function. The effect of these …

This chapter explores the transition from Construction 4.0 to Construction 5.0, highlighting
the importance of integrating human-centric and ethical considerations into advanced …

Abstract As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more significant in daily life, ensuring its
ethical behaviour is essential. While AI offers numerous benefits in areas like search …

As autonomous systems rapidly grow in adaptability, effectiveness, and sophistication, their
