Abstract

To begin with, it must be noted that there is no fixed definition or specific type of "robot," as it is constantly evolving—every day, even every minute—to make our lives safer and more secure. However, everything has a price, and the cost of these smart technologies is the potential for a range of errors and damages resulting from occasional defects, which bring about various legal implications.



This study encompasses the concept of robotics, clarifies its legal personality, and examines its ability to enter into contracts. It also outlines the basis for civil liability for damages caused by robots, whether based on the idea of supervision, the principle of employer liability for the actions of employees, or according to modern theories that are founded on the idea of agency or the theory of human representation.



Furthermore, the study discusses the implications of establishing civil liability for robot-related damages, including compensation and defenses against civil liability arising from robot-related damages.
