Abstract
A robotics ethicist is calling for a new type of legal protection that would apply specifically to robots.
Though “robot rights” are a familiar concept from robotics academia, Yueh-Hsuan Weng, a co-founder of the ROBOLAW.ASIA Initiative think tank at Peking University, is the latest to advocate for them in light of one man’s brawl with a robot at a mobile phone store early last month.
