Abstract
The development of robotics poses problems in terms of ascribing responsibility to specific individuals. This could leave the person whose rights are violated by a robot without possibility to receive damages or, in general, making someone legally responsible for the damage done. Several possible solutions to these problems posed by the technological developments are discussed, such as the introduction of the so-called “electronic person”. But these solutions will have repercussions on social concepts such as personhood, dignity, or responsibility. The article will analyze some of the legal problems posed by robotics, will show and discuss some of the discussed solutions and their possibleconsequences.
