Dennett's framework adopted and extended by TAME to make agency attribution empirical and observer-dependent.

Claims (2)

claim

Updated Robot Definition: a machine capable of physical actions with direct world impacts, able to sense repercussions, partly or completely independent of human action — not binary but a spectrum determined by degree of autonomous control.
implements
The paper's proposed new definition of 'robot' as a continuum rather than binary category
The relative amount of energy or effort used in an intervention compared to the change in a system's behavior formalizes the distinction between purely mechanical control and high-level agency.
supports
Proposed formalization of the spectrum from mechanical to cognitive control via energy-efficiency of intervention
