Stanford Robotics and the Law Conference call for papers

I’m late getting to this (my own fault, I missed an important email), but We: Robot, the Robotics and the Law Conference at Stanford Law
School is still accepting papers until Jan 18. Last year’s event was apparently smashing, and this year’s CFP is quite enticing:

The following list is by no means exhaustive, but rather meant as an elaboration on conference themes:

*
Legal and policy responses to likely effects of robotics on manufacturing or the environment
*
Perspectives on the interplay between legal frameworks and robotic software and hardware
*
Intellectual property issues raised by collaboration within robotics (or with robots)
*
Perspectives on collaboration between legal and technical communities
*
Tort law issues, including product liability, professional malpractice, and the calculation of damages
*
Administrative law issues, including FDA or FAA approval
*
Privacy law and privacy enhancing technologies
*
Comparative/international perspectives on robotics law
*
Issues of legal and economic policy, including tax, employment, and corporate governance

In addition to scholarly papers, we invite proposals for demos of cutting-edge commercial applications of robotics or recent technical research that speaks one way or another to the immediate commercial prospects of robots.
