探索为LGBTQ+群体设计的平等机器人未来，提出三种虚构方案。
Speculative Design of Equitable Robotics: Queer Fictions and Futures
- 通过三个虚构设计，让机器人反映并强化同性群体身份认同。
- 设想机器人以表演身份与外界互动，用熟悉感减少偏见。
- 构建社群自有的机器人网络，实现资源互助与连接。
本文以探索性论文形式探讨了公平机器人议题，聚焦于由LGBTQ+群体创造并服务于该群体的机器人。文章回顾了科幻与科学中关于酷儿机器人的现状，提出三种酷儿机器人角色的虚构设计方案：1）反映其使用者的酷儿身份，强化内部群体认同；2）通过展示酷儿身份进行新型酷儿行动主义，以熟悉感降低对外群体的偏见；3）建立酷儿拥有的机器人网络，使社区成员能互相联络并获取重要资源。文章进一步质疑机器人是否应被‘酷儿化’及其伦理影响，并提出理想酷儿机器人未来的构想及实现路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper examines the speculative topic of equitable robots through an exploratory essay format. It focuses specifically on robots by and for LGBTQ+ populations. It aims to provoke thought and conversations in the field about what aspirational queer robotics futures may look like, both in the arts and sciences. First, it briefly reviews the state-of-the-art of queer robotics in fiction and science, drawing together threads from each. Then, it discusses queering robots through three speculative design proposals for queer robot roles: 1) reflecting the queerness of their ''in-group'' queer users, building and celebrating ''in-group'' identity, 2) a new kind of queer activism by implementing queer robot identity performance to interact with ''out-group'' users, with a goal of reducing bigotry through familiarisation, and 3) a network of queer-owned robots, through which the community could reach each other, and distribute and access important resources. The paper then questions whether robots should be queered, and what ethical implications this raises. Finally, the paper makes suggestions for what aspirational queer robotics futures may look like, and what would be required to get there.
