This campaign focuses on advancing ethical practices in human-robot collaboration in manufacturing environments. Citizen science participants will work to engage organizations, policymakers, and advocacy groups to address key ethical challenges identified in a study, which emphasizes the importance of worker dignity, psychological safety, and continuous learning in the age of robotics. By sharing research findings and advocating for ethical policies, participants will play an essential role in shaping the future of work. This initiative is part of the larger interdisciplinary Civilization Efficiency Index (CEI) project, which aims to document the societal impact of research and turn scientific findings into tangible actions. After participating, don’t forget to register and claim your personalized certificate in our support system for citizen and professional science. Citizen scientists will contribute by raising awareness, encouraging organizations to issue press releases, public interest statements, or other forms of recognition of the ethical implications of human-robot collaboration. These efforts will help ensure that the social and emotional needs of workers are integrated into the future of work, bridging the gap between science and real-world practices. Whether you're drafting outreach materials, collaborating with organizations, or amplifying messages on social media, your efforts will be promoting a human-centric approach to the integration of robotic systems in manufacturing.
