Coggins, T.N. (author)In the introduction of this thesis, I contend that robot ethics, as a research field, generally treats privacy as the appropriate distribution of information, and therefore overlooks privacy concerns raised by robots beyond this conceptualization’s purview. I illustrate this contention by evaluating a hypothetical case involving a household...doctoral thesis 2024

Ye, Hanting (author), Lan, G. (author), Jia, Jinyuan (author), Wang, Q. (author)Smartphones are moving towards the fullscreen design for better user experience. This trend forces front cameras to be placed under screen, leading to Under-Screen Cameras (USC). Accordingly, a small area of the screen is made translucent to allow light to reach the USC. In this paper, we utilize the translucent screen's features to...book chapter 2023
