The Hybrid Ethical Reasoning Agent IMMANUEL

We introduce a novel software library that supports the implementation of hybrid ethical reasoning agents (HERA). The objective is to make moral principles available to robot programming. At its current stage, HERA can assess the moral permissibility of actions according to the principle of double effect, utilitarianism, and the do-no-harm principle. We present the prototype robot IMMANUEL based on HERA. The robot will be used to conduct research on joint moral reasoning in human-robot interaction.
