RoboLaw

摘要: The aim of this report is to offer an in depth analysis of the ethical and legal issues raised by robotic applications and to provide the European and national regulators with guidelines to deal with them.The RoboLaw project was devoted to investigate the ways in which emerging technologies in the field of bio-robotics have a bearing on the national and European legal systems, challenging traditional legal categories and qualifications, posing risks to fundamental rights and freedoms that have to be considered, and more generally demanding a regulatory ground on which they could be developed and eventually launched. After a comprehensive analysis of the current state-of-the-art of regulation pertaining to robotics in different legal systems has been carried out throughout the research, the present document tries to respond to the question whether new regulation is needed or the problems posed by robotic technologies can be handled within the framework of existing laws.
