We Robot 2015 will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. See you there!
Who Is Coming to We Robot 2014
We Robot has great speakers, but it also has great attendees. Attendees have access to authors’ papers two weeks in advance, as they are posted on line. During the program we leave plenty of time for audience participation. Additionally, we have Birds of a Feather sessions on Friday night that allow everyone to talk more informally.
We’ve just posted a partial list of who is coming to We Robot (we only posted names where registrants consented). If you would like to join in, now is the time to register for We Robot 2014.
We’ll update the attendee list from time to time between now and the conference.
We Robot 2014 Accepted Papers
We’re excited to announce the list of accepted papers for We Robot 2014. A full program with discussants and panel moderators will be ready soon.
We had a record number of high-quality submissions, and were able to accept fewer than 25% of those submitted; we’re looking forward to an excellent conference.

About We Robot 2014
Robotics is becoming a transformative technology. We Robot 2014 builds on existing scholarship exploring the role of robotics to examine how the increasing sophistication of robots and their widespread deployment everywhere from the home, to hospitals, to public spaces, and even to the battlefield disrupts existing legal regimes or requires rethinking of various policy issues.
If you are on the front lines of robot theory, design, or development, we hope to see you. Come join the conversations between the people designing, building, and deploying robots, and the people who design or influence the legal and social structures in which robots will operate.
We Robot 2014 will be in Coral Gables, Fl, hosted by the University of Miami School of Law.
