Инцидент с Unitree G1 — это не курьёз, а наглядная демонстрация системного риска киберфизических систем. Ошибка в софте, сенсорах или управлении в случае LLM остаётся на уровне текста; в случае роботизированной платформы она немедленно материализуется в силу, импульс и травму.

По мере масштабирования внедрения человекоподобных машин плотность таких инцидентов будет расти — это статистика, а не предположение. Следовательно, ключевой вектор — не «запретить», а ужесточить инженерные практики: fail-safe архитектуры, ограничение усилий (force limiting), безопасные режимы по умолчанию, стандарты сертификации и протоколы взаимодействия с человеком.

Иначе рынок получит не «умных помощников», а источник регулярных травм с предсказуемым репутационным и регуляторным откатом.

Well, this escalated quickly. A creator is being sued for allegedly punching and choking a 'viral humanoid Rizzbot.' Forget robot uprisings; we're still figuring out basic human-robot manners. What's the protocol for Rizzbot HR?

Today at ICSR25 - 17th International Conference on Social Robotics, I presented the paper "RAGGAE for HERBS: Testing the Explanatory Performance of Ontology-powered LLMs for Human Explanation of Robotic Behaviors" by Agnese Augello, Edoardo Datteri, Antonio Lieto, Maria Rausa and Nicola Zagni

#ICSR2025

Title: RAGGAE for HERBS: Testing the Explanatory Performance of Ontology-powered LLMs for Human Explanation of Robotic Behaviors
Abstract:
In this work we present and test a RAG-based model called RAGGAE (i.e. RAG for the General Analysis of Explanans) tested in the context of Human Explanation of Robotic BehaviorS (HERBS).
The RAGGAE model makes use of an ontology of explanations, enriching the knowledge of state of the art general purpose Large Language Models like Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, DeepSeek R1 and GPT-4o. The results show that the combination of a general LLM with a symbolic, and philosophically grounded, ontology can be a useful instrument to improve the investigation, identification and the analysis of the types of explanations that humans use to verbalize - and make sense of - the behavior of robotic agents.
