Dear Prof Michelli

Thanks a lot for your good comments and interest for collaboration
based on my blog posting.To begin with, I am not yet a Professor but
moving slowly in that direction. I am an MSc holder hoping to embark
on my PhD research in the near future.My research efforts are in the field of computational intelligence (fuzzy logic and swarm
intelligence in particular).So far, I have applied these theories in
Communication Systems.I know that they have also been widely applied
in robotics.

After taking a great deal of time going through the web pages that you sent me, I have observed that you are doing some great work that
side.I will be reading the papers on Roboethics one by one as I go
along.

On the issue of openning a collaboration project on Roboethics with my University, I am of the view that for a start, we can concentrate on the application of robotics in a developing country scenario then focus on roboethics in the second phase. Malawi is a developing country in Southern Africa.Just like many developing countries, robots are not common.As of now, I am contacting colleagues at the University of Malawi in order to seek their views on this issue.I will surely keep you posted.

Best regards

Clement

Dear professor Nyrenda,
Thank you very much for the pubblication…
If you wish we would be happy to open a collaboration, a project focused on Roboethics with your university!
Could you possible?

Many thanks

Dear Professor Nyrenda,

On behalf of Gianmarco Veruggio, who is the
Corresponding Chair of the IEEE Robotics&Automation
Society’s Technical Committee onRoboethics, we hope you
will be pleased and interested receiving thepapers and
the works presented at the ICRA’07 Workshop on Roboethics.

The Workshop about this new Applied Ethics – Roboethics -
took place in the Spring 2007, in Rome, Italy, in the
frame of the IEEE Robotics&Automation Society ICRA’07
(International Conference on Robotics and Automation).

You can find them on the website:
