This caused a public furor among consumers. This situation and several others (e.g., nuclear inspection, use of untrusted cloud computing infrastructure) suggest that we might be interested in limiting what information a robot might divulge. How should we think about robotic privacy? In this talk I\u0026rsquo;ll describe a line of research that is concerned with this question, starting by showing that cryptography doesn\u0026rsquo;t solve the problem. I\u0026rsquo;ll begin by examining a privacy-preserving tracking task, then look at how one might think about estimators that are constrained to ensure they never know too much. Finally, I\u0026rsquo;ll talk about planning subject to information disclosure constraints and introduce a useful structure that we call a \u0026ldquo;plan closure.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDylan Shell is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A\u0026amp;M University. His research focuses on systems that exploit their physical embedding to interact with the world, working to understand, design, and build such systems. He has published papers on multi-robot task allocation, biologically inspired multiple-robot systems, estimation of group-level swarm properties, minimalist- and multi-robot manipulation, rigid-body simulation and contact models, human-robot interaction, and robotic theatre.\u0026nbsp;The National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and DARPA have funded Shell\u0026rsquo;s work. He has been the recipient of an NSF Career award, the Montague Teaching award, the George Bekey Service award, and multiple best reviewer awards.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines presents \u0026quot;Robots with Privacy Stipulations\u0026quot; by Dylan Shell of Texas A\u0026amp;M University.
