description The article discusses the main problems in the field of legal regulation of the functioning of the robots, definition of “robot”, as well as the understanding, interpretation, and evaluation of the civil liability for the robot’s actions are viewed in the paper. The article analyses the possibility of endowing robots with legal personality, as well as various approaches to liability for damage caused by a robot to property or to a person. The question is raised about bringing the robot to criminal and civil liability. The question is raised about the regulation of intellectual property rights to an object created by a robot. If a robot creates music, a picture or text, who owns the rights to them: the robot developer or the head of the creative process, whether the robot itself. The article analyses a feature that is very important for the legal perspective of the problem – it is a turn from understanding a robot as an entertainment product to the direction of development and research of social interaction between a robot and a human. The question is raised about the need to adopt new legal norms aimed at regulating the legal status of a robot, liability for damage caused by it, as well as legal problems of intellectual property associated with the functioning of robots. The analysis of the legal frameworks regarding robots in different countries of the world is performed. The article introduces the need to develop appropriate legislative support in the field of robotics: interpreting the term “robot”, determining the legal regime of its functioning, developing a unified approach to liability for harm caused by a robot and developing uniform rules for protecting intel- lectual property rights when using a robot. Legal regulation is necessary not only at the national level, but also globally.
