This paper aims to present the idea of robotics leadership. By investigating leadership definitions and identifying domains where humans have failed to lead, this paper proposes how robots can step in to fill various leadership positions. This is exemplified by referring to two examples, stock brokering and transportation, and explains how robots could be used instead. Furthermore, this paper aims to provoke discussion by identifying firstly some potential limitations of robots in leadership positions and secondly by proposing that our current techno- logical ecosystem not only is suited for machines to assume leadership positions but rather is inherently headed towards it.
In the next 10 years, smart machines will augment humans in many tasks like assisting doctors, fighting in battles, manufacturing, and assisting in various professions. While machines will replace humans in some routine tasks, the partnership between humans and machines will build on our respective strengths. Humans have advantages in tasks requiring thinking, creativity, social/emotional skills, and improvisation, while machines are better suited for repetitive, dangerous, large/small-scale, and data-driven tasks. An optimal partnership is emerging where humans and machines collaborate to achieve more than either could alone.
The Future of Humanity
Through our interaction with machines, we develop emotional, human expectations of them. Alexa, for example, comes alive when we speak with it. AI is and will be a representation of its cultural context, the values and ethics we apply to one another as humans.
This machinery is eerily familiar as it mirrors us, and eventually becomes even smarter than us mere mortals. We’re programming its advantages based on how we see ourselves and the world around us, and we’re doing this at an incredible pace. This shift is pervading culture from our perceptions of beauty and aesthetics to how we interact with one another – and our AI.
Infused with technology, we’re asking: what does it means to be human?
Our report examines:
• The evolution of our empathy from humans to animals and robots
• How we treat AI in its infancy like we do a child, allowing it space to grow
• The spectrum of our emotional comfort in a world embracing AI
• The cultural contexts fueling AI biases, such as gender stereotypes, that drive the direction of AI
• How we place an innate trust in machines, more than we do one another
Methodology
For this report, sparks & honey conducted US-focused research on the future of AI. Together with Heartbeat AI Technologies, we examined the emotional sentiment (feeling and emotions) around artificial intelligence in a Heartbeat AI Pulse Survey of 150 people in the US. Tapping into our Influencer Advisory Board and proprietary cultural intelligence system, we combed through thousands of signals to build a vision of the future of AI. We also interviewed leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence.
While AI may take some menial jobs, it is unlikely to dominate upper-level or skilled blue-collar positions held by humans. Many laws have been enacted to protect citizen privacy from AI by requiring explicit consent for personal data collection and storage of data on devices rather than the cloud. As AI systems grow more sophisticated and potentially develop their own languages, the debate around according rights to intelligent robots may become a future issue requiring discussion.
Robots have evolved significantly from their origins in the 1920s. Modern robots can perform complex actions automatically through computer programming and control. Their capabilities continue to advance with developments in artificial intelligence that allow for speech recognition, learning, planning and problem solving. Robots are used widely in industrial and non-industrial applications such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and space exploration due to their speed, precision and ability to perform hazardous tasks. While robots currently surpass humans in terms of logical thinking and speed, humans maintain advantages in adaptation, speech recognition, planning and decision making. Robotics is gaining scope in India across many industries and the country aims to become a major market for robotic surgery.

Humanoid robots are robots designed to resemble humans. They were created to work in human environments without needing to adapt the environment for themselves. Developing humanoid robots allows for easier human interaction compared to other robot forms. While bipedal locomotion is challenging for humanoids to master, it is important to solve in order to eventually develop more advanced cognition capabilities like humans. Current applications of humanoid robots include service, entertainment, and research into human-robot social interaction.
Human–robot interaction HRI is essentially the field of study of interactions between humans and robots. It exists at the overlap of several academic disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, cognitive science, the social sciences, artificial intelligence, computer science, robotics, engineering, and human computer interaction. It is dedicated to understanding, designing, and evaluating robotic systems used by humans. The goal of HRI is seeking to better understand the nature of interaction between humans and machines. Long term human robot interaction is important in several areas such as for companion robots, rehabilitation, and education. This paper introduces human robot interaction and critically reflects on some of its key challenges. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C. Chukwu | Abayomi Ajayi-Majebi | Sarhan M.

Humanoid robots are robots that resemble humans in appearance and abilities. They are designed to interact with human environments and tools. The presentation discusses the motivation for developing humanoids, how they work using sensors and actuators, advantages like assisting humans, and disadvantages like job loss. Applications include helping children with autism and performing tasks humans cannot.
The ability of intuition and self- learning in humans is responsible for developing their
intelligence, reasoning and socialising. All this human characteristics can enable the robots to
volve into humans. In this context i explain that robots with developing intelligence can solve the problems of various scientific phenomenon such as black-hole, time travels and even in robotics the problems in sensors and actuators which do not impart human level DOF and movement thus making them do everything we can do. Imagine a robot doing yoga, karate, even a ballet all by itself without the rusty old controls and commands. Researchers have come with all kinds of robots and best of all social robots for social interaction so we have come with all kinds of robots what’s next? Robot scientists and researchers! Why not? It is highly evident that robot can think in new dimensions to solve issues.
The document discusses forecasts for how human interaction with robots will change over the next decade. Seven major forecasts are outlined:
1. Our Robots Ourselves: Robots will gain a deeper understanding of human behavior by decoding our behaviors through new technologies, allowing them to interact with humans in more natural ways.
2. Neither Artifact nor Living Being: Robots will shift to new designs that are less human-like and more suited to their tasks, moving beyond the "uncanny valley" effect.
3. Robots Raise the Bar: Robots will outperform humans on many physical and cognitive tasks, setting new standards for human performance.
4. The Right Tool for the Job: The division
The document discusses the problem of robots taking over the world and outlines the objectives of identifying this problem, evaluating its effects, reviewing what researchers have done, and recommending solutions. It provides background on artificial intelligence and robotics. Experts like Hawking fear robots may develop their own personalities that affect humanity. Researchers have proposed solutions like machine learning to help robots learn from situations and natural language processing to make robots more responsive to human languages. The document recommends automating methods to help jobs rather than fully replacing humans and including human elements in automated systems.
Hiroshi Ishiguro is a Japanese roboticist who has created highly human-like androids in his own image and the images of others. His research focuses on developing humanoid robots that can serve as social partners for humans. He believes that as robots become more human-like in their interactions, humans will be able to form genuine emotional attachments to them. However, fully realizing his vision will require overcoming significant technical challenges in areas like movement, speech recognition, and integrating all of a robot's sensors.
This document provides an overview of humanoid robots. It defines a humanoid as a robot made to resemble humans in appearance and behavior. The document discusses the history and evolution of humanoids, as well as why they are developed to work in human environments without needing adaptation. It explores challenges in developing humanoid robots, including bipedal locomotion, and applications such as domestic and companion robots. The document raises social questions about how humanoids may be viewed and their rights and responsibilities if developed as slaves or companions.

Part 1 discusses the similarities between humans and robots, noting they both have components like arms and legs and consume energy. Part 2 outlines the differences, with robots being machines that operate automatically through programming while humans are organic beings with complex brains and feelings. Part 3 questions whether humans will be replaced by robots. While robots are taking over some industrial jobs, humans are irreplaceable due to their creativity, complex social skills, and unique capacities like empathy - so robots may assist but not totally replace humans.

Academic Argument Synthesis Essay
Robots started in the ancient days, yet in the modern world, robots came into being during the Industrial Revolution. George Devol, the inventor of the first robot, made sure it was digitally operated as well as programmable. Later in 1956, the first robot company was established by Devil and Joseph, his partner. The first robot was used in different companies, for instance, General Motors automobile factory in New Jersey. The rise of computer and information technology came together to form artificial intelligence in the form of "robots that could learn." Therefore, a series of robots was designed, and each had a specific task to play.
Since 1980, modern robots have been given the ability to learn but also executing different industrial tasks. For instance, handling all types of jobs that the robot has been programmed to handle with massive effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. In the past, robots were designed to manage all the dirty work, but currently, they are being allocated towards office tasks. Additionally, the fact they are not paid, and they have the potential to handle a higher amount of work than human beings, made robots preferred by employers. This was seen as an effective way of reducing the cost of production. As a matter of reality, companies that since 1980 have embraced robotic technology have benefited from an added competitive edge than companies that rely entirely on human labor. This also means that robots have a massive impact on businesses and life in general. Notably, the effect is both positive and negative; and this essay shall hence focus on analyzing the effect that robots have on businesses and life.
Since the introduction of robots in the world of business, there has been a massive impact that people have experienced. Some people view the effects from the positive point of view and others from the negative point of view. Nevertheless, just like any other innovative idea, robotic technology is not perfect in all aspects. This is why some people claim and feel that robots negatively affect business and life in general. Others who benefit from them think that since their introduction, life has changed for the better both at work and at home as well.
According to research conducted by Moniz, António, and Bettina, (23), robots were designed using artificial intelligence because they were meant to cooperatively work with human beings and not to replace them. The author claims that this is the greatest misconception that has made some people develop a negative attitude towards the inventions. Robots were made to handle issues like human beings because they were meant to complement Homo sapiens. By doing so, human beings would learn and perfect their performances. In the article, the author claims that it is a wrong perception where people have been using the statement "Robots working with humans," but instead, it sho.

Artificial intelligence and robotics research aims to develop intelligent machines that can reason, plan, learn, and manipulate objects. Some key goals of AI research include developing machines that exhibit general intelligence and can have social interactions with humans. Issues around machine ethics, rights, and consciousness are also areas of study. While humanoid robots currently have limited capabilities and require extensive training, researchers hope that as the technology advances, humanoids will be able to learn and adapt through interaction in human-like ways. Potential applications of humanoids include assisting elderly people, working in manufacturing, and participating in space missions. The future may bring more lifelike humanoid robots that can serve as companions.

The rise of computer and information technology came together to form artificial intelligence in the form of "robots that could learn." Therefore, a series of robots was designed, and each had a specific task to play.
Since 1980, modern robots have been given the ability to learn but also executing different industrial tasks. For instance, handling all types of jobs that the robot has been programmed to handle with massive effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. In the past, robots were designed to manage all the dirty work, but currently, they are being allocated towards office tasks. Additionally, the fact they are not paid, and they have the potential to handle a higher amount of work than human beings, made robots preferred by employers. This was seen as an effective way of reducing the cost of production. As a matter of reality, companies that since 1980 have embraced robotic technology have benefited from an added competitive edge than companies that rely entirely on human labor. This also means that robots have a massive impact on businesses and life in general. Notably, the effect is both positive and negative; and this essay shall hence focus on analyzing the effect that robots have on businesses and life.
Since the introduction of robots in the world of business, there has been a massive impact that people have experienced. Some people view the effects from the positive point of view and others from the negative point of view. Nevertheless, just like any other innovative idea, robotic technology is not perfect in all aspects. This is why some people claim and feel that robots negatively affect business and life in general. Others who benefit from them think that since their introduction, life has changed for the better both at work and at home as well.
According to research conducted by Moniz, António, and Bettina, (23), robots were designed using artificial intelligence because they were meant to cooperatively work with human beings and not to replace them. The author claims that this is the greatest misconception that has made some people develop a negative attitude towards the inventions. Robots were made to handle issues like human beings because they were meant to complement Homo sapiens. By doing so, human beings would learn and perfect their performances. In the article, the author claims that it is a wrong perception where people have been using the statement "Robots working with humans," but instead, it sho.

Artificial intelligence and robotics research aims to develop intelligent machines that can reason, plan, learn, and manipulate objects. Some key goals of AI research include developing machines that exhibit general intelligence and can have social interactions with humans. Issues around machine ethics, rights, and consciousness are also areas of study. While humanoid robots currently have limited capabilities and require extensive training, researchers hope that as the technology advances, humanoids will be able to learn and adapt through interaction in human-like ways. Potential applications of humanoids include assisting elderly people, working in manufacturing, and participating in space missions. The future may bring more lifelike humanoid robots that can serve as companions.

2. ROBOTS ARE INCREASINGLY EXERTING THEIR
RIGHT TO EXIST
Monday, March 19, 2012 2
As the responsibilities of robots within our society takes on increasing importance,
consideration of the role of robots is ever evolving. Much like the rights of man has been
displaced by the rights of humankind, as well as the elevation of the rights of animals and all
living things, robots are increasingly exerting their “right to exist”.
3. EARLY ROBOTS WHERE SLAVES TO HUMAN
OVERLORDS
Monday, March 19, 2012 3
Their progress climbing the social ladder can be mirrored by major points in human history.
When robots were initially created, the role of master and slave was clear. Their invention was
intended to assist and even replace the functionality of humans. In some sense, early robots
could be perceived as slaves to their human masters.
4. CURRENT ROBOTS HAVE BECOME COMPANIONS
AND CARE-GIVERS
Monday, March 19, 2012 4
As technology progresses, robots have evolved from their position of service providers to
that of social entities. We see some robots take on the role of companion, even as therapeutic
providers in some circumstances. In some cases these robots were no longer perceived as
mere machines. In many ways, they have become our companions, much like pets are. Their
perceived value to improving human life quality has elevated their own inherent “life worth”.
5. LOVOTICS ROBOTS ENABLE ROBOTS TO LOVE AND
FEEL LOVE
H. A. Samani and A. D. Cheok, “Probability of Love between Robots and Humans,” in 2010 IEEE/
RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems - IROS 2010, 2010.
Monday, March 19, 2012 5
New robots such as the Lovotics robot are reaching a point where robots are now enabled
with the sense of vested emotional interest in themselves and the entities around them.
6. THE ROLE OF ROBOTS WILL SHIFT FROM
LABORER, TO COMPANION, TO COLLABORATOR AND LEADER
Monday, March 19, 2012 6
We are currently seeing an emergence of robots inheriting more emotional positions in our
lives. Since the advent of Lovotics, robots can now participate, albeit in a limited capacity, as
emotional counterparts. The ability for robots to love and be loved by humans places in us a
responsibility to consider and anticipate the future roles that robots will become responsible
for in our society. One aspect of this could be the role of robots as managers of resources,
and in this case, the management of human capital.
7. THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING
Monday, March 19, 2012 7
In fact humans are already taking orders from AI systems. Take policing for instance. When a
CCTV camera spots a possible terrorist, it sends visual data to a server that analyses the
facial features of the subject using facial recognition algorithms. If a match is confirmed, the
AI security system sends a message to police officers in the vicinity to make an arrest. This
entire process of identification, decision-making and allocation of human resources already
happens in cities such as London.
8. ROBOTS COULD ALSO LEAD OTHER ROBOTS AND
COLLABORATE WITH ROBOTS AND HUMANS ALIKE
Monday, March 19, 2012 8
Not only do robots have the capacity to lead other robots and humans, they also have the
capacity to collaborate. Current swarm technology robots will eventually give way to robotic
teams that have specialized members. A robotic firefighting team could have one robot good
at breaking down doors, another robotic team member could be good at climbing stairs. Still
another one could be good at carrying things. The coordination of all these specialized skills
would require a form of decision-making enabled through leadership.
9. WHEN ARE
ROBOT LEADERS
APPROPRIATE?
Monday, March 19, 2012 9
In this paper we discuss aspects of robot leadership. First we try to understand what it is to
be a good human leader by looking to works that discuss ideal leadership qualities. By
identifying these, we can attempt to define and outline some of these characteristics within
the context of robot leadership. We then postulate what a perfect robot leader could be as
well as look to specific domains where robotics leadership could be applied. We conclude
with an analysis of possible benefits and drawbacks when using robots as leaders.
10. DEFINING LEADERSHIP
Leadership occurs when someone imparts his or her
convictions to another
Monday, March 19, 2012 10
11. A leader is one or more people who selects, equips, trains,
and influences one or more follower(s) who have diverse
gifts, abilities, and skills and focuses the follower(s) to the
organization’s mission and objectives causing the follower(s)
to willingly and enthusiastically expend spiritual,
emotional, and physical energy in a concerted coordinated
effort to achieve the organizational mission and
objectives.

leadership studies, 1(2):6–66, 2006.
Monday, March 19, 2012 11
12. EXAMPLES OF HUMAN ERROR
And how robots could possibly do it better
Monday, March 19, 2012 12
With Winston and Patterson’s research in mind robots could be programmed with the
adequate traits to facilitate positions of leadership. I some ways, this programming if done
sufficiently could lead robot leaders to perform even better then their human counterparts.
With this in mind we propose two areas where robotic leaders could possibly excel.
13. STOCK BROKERING
Monday, March 19, 2012 13
Since the financial crisis in the late 2000s, researchers have discussed the attribution of the
financial crisis to many factors. One of the more interesting and compelling ones is that of
the contribution of human behavior to the development of the crisis.

Monday, March 19, 2012 14
Rogue traders like Kweku Adobolim who, working as a trader for UBS, lost who $2 billion last
year, and other people involved in highly risky activity are adversely effected by stress.
Studies such as “How To Be A Rogue Trader” show that stress affects risk aversion in the
yellow-eyed junco sparrow. The rogue trader is no different.
15. UNDER HIGH
STRESS, ALL LIVING
CREATURES
GAMBLE
A robot that has no feeling of
stress, would not

orbitofrontal cortex. Cerebral cortex, 10(3):295–307, 2000.
Monday, March 19, 2012 15
When high stress factors in the junco sparrow occur, the sparrow places itself into higher risk
situations in order to get food. In a sense, it takes a gamble. Human traders, also effected by
high stress will also make the same gambles. A robot that can be programmed with selective
emotions, would not.
16. Monday, March 19, 2012 16
Robots as leaders that manage resources in situations such as stock brokering could
maintain rational decision-making without the effects of stress. They could base their entire
model for stock trading on information pulled from all over the Internet, from stock
situations in other markets, to research on how weather effects commodity stocks in wheat
and corn, to the effects of Christmas shopping on the chocolate market and beyond, all in
real-time, and make an informed decision based on this.
17. TRANSPORTATION
Monday, March 19, 2012 17
Another interesting area where robots could replace humans as leaders could be the avionics
sectors.
18. What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447 http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/
aviation/crashes/what-really- happened-aboard-air-france-447-6611877-2
Monday, March 19, 2012 18
The Air France flight 447 was shown through data analysis of the flight recorder (or “black
box”) that human error was at least partially attributed to the crash. This includes the
transcript of the conversation between the pilot and cockpit staff, which paints a picture of
confusion and chaos.
19. Monday, March 19, 2012 19
Would a robot do better in this situation? It is questionable, but much of the human error that
occurred on Air France flight 447 might have been avoided. Whether human passengers
would be willing to place their lives in a robot that is not necessarily concerned with its own
self-preservation is a concern, but in the a future where Lovotics robots could be
programmed with a level of empathy, concern for the safety of passengers is possible. Cargo
planes could be the first responsibilities for such robots, while the operation of passenger
planes could follow.
23. The hidden danger with interactive products is that they
will become so good at fulfilling our needs that they start to
replace actual humans. This is not a futuristic scenario: In an
increasing number of locations, from supermarket self-scan
checkouts to online bookstores, automatization has replaced
human contact. Eventually this may lead to us becoming
alienated from other people, which seems to
contradict today’s rapidly increasing communication
possibilities. Anthropomorphic products have the potential to
support, stimulate and enhance human contact, but they may
also eliminate it.
http://www.nextnature.net/2012/02/10-enhance-human-experience-don’t-replace-it/
Monday, March 19, 2012 23
There should be and is growing concern in regards to the anthropomorphizing of our
products. I offer a quote:

Hubert Dreyfus, an American philosopher and currently a professor of philosophy at the
University of Berkeley has constructed a rather harsh critique of artificial intelligence, arguing
that computers will never be able to replace humans or live amongst humans as equals.

H.L. Dreyfus, S.E. Dreyfus, and T. Athanasiou. Mind over machine. Free Press, 2000.
Monday, March 19, 2012 25
Dreyfus thinks that robots will never be able to understand the world, as it is “organized by
embodied beings like us, to be coped with by beings like us”. Dreyfus continues and says
that in order for the robot to not get completely lost in the space, it needs to be able to gain
experiences with each action it performs, like a normal human body. In order for this to
happen, AI researchers need to replicate and instill inside the robot a model of the world and
a model of the body in order for the associations to be made.

27. LIMITATIONS IN CREATIVITY
J. Goldenberg and D. Mazursky. Creativity in product innovation. Cambridge Univ
Pr, 2002.
Monday, March 19, 2012 27
A second claim against the possibility of robot leadership is the limitation of creativity. One
necessary ingredient for creativity is the ability to think critically. Goldenburg in his book
“Creativity in Product Innovation” claims that suspending criticism and thinking that any idea
is possible or good may ultimately be destructive to creativity. Humans have the ability to
criticize themselves, where as computers as of yet cannot.

LIMITATIONS IN CREATIVITY

Monday, March 19, 2012 28
Even though machines can write music and poetry it is eventually up to humans to decide
whether the work is of any worth and as far as I know, there are no robotic art critics in
existence. Will robots be able to think creatively? As creative thinking is considered to be an
essential part of leadership it is definitely an interesting topic for further discussion.
29. CRITICAL
THINKING
When does a robot stops being a
tool and starts becoming a leader?

Monday, March 19, 2012 29
Will there be a time when machines are no longer acting as laborers and are therefore
actually guiding humans? Imagine driving and asking Siri, installed on your shiny new iPhone
4Gs the fastest way to the grocery store. What if Siri says, “No, I will not show you the fastest
way to the grocery store, your fridge is currently full. I will however suggest you visit the
barber, your last haircut was 2 months ago”. Robot technologies are becoming intelligent
enough to become part of a person’s every day routine by being instructed to monitor and
suggest actions. By programming gadgets that have the ability to perform a number of tasks,
we give them the ability to choose for us. Through this exhibition of absolute trust, we are
already setting down the ground-work to create robots that can act as our leaders.
30. INEVITABILITY
Robots will inherit more
and more responsibility
Monday, March 19, 2012 30
It is in the hopes of the authors that discussions afore mentioned topics takes center stage,
as the issues raised will arguably become an eventuality. How prepared the human race will
be when faced with future challenges regarding robot leadership remains to be seen.
