Position Paper: Rational Behavior Model (RBM) and Human-Robot Ethical Constraints Using Mission Execution Ontology (MEO)

Autonomous systems can be ethically supervised by humans without constant communications. Adding constraints such as no-fly zones, time limitations, permission prerequisites etc. to mission orders allows operators to legally and ethically control mobile systems that have the potential for deliberate (or unintentional) lethal force. Ethical control can be practically achieved by providing parsable (and ethically validatable) orders to diverse unmanned systems.
