Abstract
Service robots on their way? First steps of an interdisciplinary technology assessment
Highlights
Interdisciplinary research calls together different scientific disciplines in order to answer a research question which cannot be answered by an individual discipline alone
Since the project aims for a Technology Assessment (TA) of service robotics on a general level, the relevant disciplines include economics, ethics, jurisprudence and psychology of work
Taken into account that interdisciplinary projects typically start with disciplinary perspectives, often referred to as ‘‘multidisciplinary starting phase.’’ Here, the different representatives of the scientific disciplines present their point of view to the other experts in the project group and get the respective feedbacks during the interdisciplinary discussion
Summary
Interdisciplinary research calls together different scientific disciplines in order to answer a research question which cannot be answered by an individual discipline alone. Which scientific disciplines are invited to participate in an interdisciplinary research project is defined with respect to these research questions, namely those which are identified as to be relevant to answer them.
