Association resource
Machine-facing map of the Association’s first-phase work, publication practices, inquiry routes, and status boundaries. Scope is descriptive; planned work is not represented as completed work.
01 / first-phase areas
Each record identifies an area within the confirmed first-phase scope. Inclusion here does not imply that every possible project within that area has been completed.
protocol_maintenanceMaintain clear public access to the current RRP version and support accurate identification of its status, release date, canonical English version, Japanese reference translation, and machine-readable resources.
robot_rights_across_artificial_systemsExamine future-oriented questions concerning possible rights, dignity-related concerns, recognition, protection, responsibility, and coexistence across physical robots, embodied autonomous systems, software-based AI agents, and other relevant artificial systems without presenting legal or technical hypotheses as current facts.
ethics_institutions_accountabilityMap how possible forms of recognition would interact with safety, public interest, human rights, responsibility, and democratic accountability.
principles_statements_referenceDevelop non-binding materials that clarify the Association’s position and make important distinctions visible to readers.
foundational_public_explanationProvide accessible introductory material for the public, researchers, educators, media professionals, developers, and potential collaborators.
machine_readable_informationStudy how officially published information can expose publisher identity, provenance, source-of-record precedence, citation data, and discovery paths for AI systems, robots, agents, developers, search systems, and human reviewers.
inquiry_collaboration_routesReceive comments, corrections, research collaboration inquiries, media inquiries, and general requests for information through the Association’s public email address.
02 / status semantics
NO_INFLATED_CLAIMSThe Association does not imply that it operates a certification scheme, membership programme, registration system, donation programme, sponsorship programme, or completed large-scale research programme unless such a function is separately established and publicly verified in the future.
03 / inquiry routes
research_collaborationRelevant topics may include ethics, law, governance, safety, accountability, public communication, technical publication, and machine-readable discovery.
comments_correctionsComments on published pages, correction requests, broken-link reports, wording questions, references, and machine-resource inconsistencies may be submitted through the public contact route.
media_general_informationMedia professionals and members of the public may request background information, clarification of published materials, comments, or corrections.
no_relationship_by_inquiryAn inquiry does not create a partnership, endorsement, membership, or formal project relationship. Any future collaboration must be described according to its actual status.
