(November 12, 2009) Panelists Kenneth Anderson, Paul Saffo, F. Daniel Siciliano, and M. Ryan Calo discuss the unique legal challenges that widespread availability of sophisticated robots pose for the present, near future, and far future.

Robotics Short Story
The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"

I’m VERY impressed to find ANY FELLOW AMERICAN interested in Personal/Domestic Care Robotics, so PLEASE include me on any mailing list you may have of discussions! However, you should address The K.I.S.S. Principle (that’s Keep It Simple Stanford…HA!) and recognize the simple solution Thomas Edison developed for his concept called a light bulb. His solution (applied to a robot?)…an “OFF SWITCH”, HARD-WIRED with back-up remote! Then end of misc. security problems, with fregrency hopping created by Heddy Lamarr (in WWII)! Just clutter the signal and Hackers will go to easier prey (as any criminal would do). Yes, I’ve been studying & reseaching this since 1969. Machines have helped Mankind, longer then Jesus Christ, look at automatic, non-powered fountain by HERO (100 years before Christ) and even Leonado Da Vinci designed his “MECHANICAL KNIGHT”, then there was the (Royalty ONLY) Tea Serving Robot of The Nippon and all had an “OFF” switch! SAFETY FIRST, remember?
