ICRES 2018 is the third edition of the International Conference on Robot Ethics and Standards series and was held within the premises of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York on August 20 and 21 of 2018.

ICRES aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for discussing the fundamental and pressing safety, ethical, legal and societal issues in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Following the International Conference on Robot Ethics (ICRE 2015) and the International Conference on Robot Ethics and Safety Standards (ICRESS 2017), the third iteration in the conference series discussed ethical and safety concerns in AI and robotic systems (not limited to physical robots).

Below you can find the proceedings in a digital 3d flipbook and as a separate more detailed list. In the list presented, you can find detailed information for each paper along with its DOI and link to the respective paper in PDF format.
