This workshop will introduce the new EC policy “Digitising the European Industry”, in particular the pillar on “smart regulation for smart industry”. There is a need at European level for clear and fit to purpose regulation in the digital world. The current open legal issues in advanced robots and autonomous systems are barriers for business growth and a wider use of such systems by citizens and industry. Issues of concern are for example obviously the liability of autonomous systems and their insurance but also more widely the safety issues related to their use or the testing and certification of such systems.
