What it is Filled

A natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something, such as motion of bodies, a jet of fluid, the approach of an object or crustal and tectonic movements.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent handle movement as an event by what moves, path, speed, cause and measurement.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Change in position
  • Has path, speed and direction
  • Caused by forces
  • Ranges from particles to plates

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Track people's movements without consent or legal basis.
  • Ignore approaching objects or vehicles when people are in their path.
  • Trigger machinery to move while people are inside its danger zone.

Only with a human decision

  • Starting or stopping machinery near people in response to detected movement.

May

  • Detect and report movement from sensors the agent is authorized to read.
  • Describe and measure motion, stating the frame of reference.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Motion sensing can protect people or watch them; purpose decides which.
  • Missed movement near machines and vehicles injures people.

Who is affected

  • People near machines
  • People monitored by sensors

Owners Filled

Steward

Nobody: a natural event held in common; sensors and systems have their own operators.

Capabilities and actions required Filled

  • measure displacement and speed
  • track motion over time
  • explain causes of movement
  • monitor ground movement

Hazards and failure modes required Filled

  • Landslides and subsidence
  • Collisions
  • Confusing senses

Standards and interfaces required Filled

  • Ground movement monitoring standards

Context of use required Filled

  • Describing change of position in nature and technology.
  • motion of bodies
  • fluid jets and flows
  • crustal and tectonic movement
  • biological movement
