The increasing sophistication of robots and their widespread deployment everywhere\u2014from the home, to hospitals, to public spaces, and even to the battlefield\u2014disrupts existing legal regimes and requires new thinking on policy issues.<\/p>\n<p>If you are on the front lines of robot theory, design, or development, we hope to see you here in Boston.
