Abstract

In this contribution, we analyse important questions related to the conceptual foundations of axiology, or the discipline concerned with the study of value, with regard to its repercussion in the field of inclusive robotics. We take a pluralistic position on the subject, with the goal of presenting a way for us to approach the complex system of values around which current scientific-technological practice takes place. Based on these considerations, we provide a set of ideas that can be useful as a bridge to move from the axiology of the technology towards the field of inclusive robotics within the paradigm of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).

This communication was funded by the European projects INBOTS and EXTEND of the H2020 Programme. They constitute the IFS-CSIC Research Group in the INBOTS and EXTEND projects.
