Robotics

Robots are already in widespread use in manufacturing and warfare.  You see them increasingly in hospitals, warehouses, even homes.  The mainstreaming of robotics presents a number of interesting puzzles for administrative, tort, and other areas of the law. 

CIS has emerged as a national leader in exploring the intersection of law and robotics.  Our staff has published on a variety of topics, including autonomous driving, the domestic use of drones, robotics and privacy, and liability for personal robots.  We have held several events around artificial intelligence and robotics, including the annual Robot Block Party for National Robotics Week that draws thousands of visitors.
