The call for papers and participation closes Nov. 1 and the organizers are looking for contributions by academics, practitioners, and others in the form of scholarly papers or demonstrations of technology or other projects. We Robot fosters conversations between the people designing, building, deploying and using robots, and the people who design or influence the legal and social structures in which robots will operate. Contributions resulting from interdisciplinary collaborations, such as those between legal, ethical, economics, or policy scholars and roboticists are particularly encouraged.
