The 'RobotRecht' research center aims to guide manufacturers and users of technical innovations safely through the legal jungle and thus wins first place in the science category of the "Landmarks in the Land of Ideas" competition. The background: technical innovations not only provide impetus, they also often raise new legal questions: What happens if an autonomous vehicle makes the wrong decision? Who is liable if a robot gets out of control or the smart fridge orders 3,000 liters of soda? This is where the research center can help: the Würzburg lawyers advise manufacturers and users of new technologies on the current legal situation and inform them about legal risks at an early stage. In this way, the practical legal project support gives developers security and supports them in bringing innovative technologies to market maturity.
