Since its inception, this conference has been hosted biyearly at Miami Law in 2014 and 2016 and returns this year on April 11-13. In other years, Stanford Law, Yale Law and University of Washington Law have hosted.
Individuals on the front lines of robot theory, design and development attend to discuss the increasing sophistication of robots and how their widespread deployment disrupts existing legal regimes and requires new thinking on policy issues.
