“…The recent successful use of commercial drones for military purposes by Ukraine eventually prompted Russian military > REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MANUSCRIPT ID NUMBER (DOUBLE-CLICK HERE TO EDIT) < planners to interpolate and adapt [101]. Projections of emerging AI capabilities and potential swarm deployments are leading strategists to anticipate new and highly destructive functionalities for drone fleets fielded by the great powers [104].…”

If people want the benefits of innovations, must they simply accept the unintended adverse consequences? Versions of this question haunt many who care about the social implications of technology. Technological design processes could include impact assessment steps, but not all do. Adoption in the marketplace may ignore spillover effects. Jurisprudence is often reactive and focused on remediating obvious wrongs. Public policy also often requires evidence of harm before legislators or administrators are willing to act. The failure to anticipate adverse consequences is sometimes framed as a moral lapse, but it could equally be about competence or incentives. This paper considers the relative merits of methodology (analogizing, interpolating, projecting,) and procedure (reflecting, reasoning, discourse) as systematic approaches to anticipating unintended consequences of innovation. It weighs the efficacy of such approaches against current reactive remedies, highlighting the importance of tailoring approach to context, and building in early learning opportunities (observing and testing). Several examples suggest that society is often playing catch-up and trying to avoid adverse consequences before the innovation is widely deployed rather than before it is initially introduced.

Humanitarian Demining Serial-Tracked Robot: Design and Dynamic Modeling

et al. 2023

The paper proposes an original mechanical structure of a serial-tracked robot, subject of national invention patent number RO132301, B1/2021, destinated for humanitarian demining operations: anti-personnel mine detection by using a detection device mounted on the bottom’s tracked platform, demining and clearing the land of exploded mines using a TRTTR robot structure. The dynamic model of the robot structure is determined and numerically validated. A novel approach based on the Lagrange formalism and mechanical design equations has been used in the calculus and selection of robot driving motors. The obtained results for robot translation modules are presented and analyzed.
