What does FRR mean in ROBOTICS

The Foundation for Responsible Robotics (FRR) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the responsible development, employment and use of robots and artificial intelligence.

FRR's mission is to promote research, education and debate on the responsible use of robotics and AI across a wide range of areas. Specifically, it aims to advance ethical considerations surrounding AI, encourage public dialogue about its implications for society, support the safe and beneficial design, deployment, operation and evaluation of robot systems, share best practices in robot ethics across industries or sectors, provide guidance on how to ensure robots respect human rights and dignity, foster collaboration between researchers from different disciplines who are exploring this topic area, among other initiatives.

FRR was founded in 2017 as a collaborative effort between leading experts working in academia as well as members from business, civil society organizations (CSOs), governments/intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and media organizations. This diverse set of stakeholders join forces with a common goal—to address ethical challenges posed by robotics technology while also encouraging its potential benefits throughout society.

The FRR is funded through private donations by individuals who believe in its mission as well as corporate grants from companies interested in advancing their work related to robot ethics or safety regulations.

In addition to funding partnerships with academic institutions or industry bodies working on similar topics such as robotic ethics or safety regulations, FRR works closely with various NGOs including Amnesty International that seek to promote universal human rights all around the world. Moreover it partners with media outlets such as BBC World Service Radio which provide them with a platform to reach out a larger audience interested in learning about their activities or initiatives.
