Abstract

Direct and indirect criminological risks of the use of robotics are analyzed and issues of responsibility of the manufacturer (developer)and/or owner (user) of robotics are discussed for acts committed with their participation. This essay discusses    promising areas of legal research related to robotics and its   corresponding legal regulations. The definition of robotics is based and proposed as all categories of robots in their broadest sense, regardless of their purpose, degree of danger, mobility or autonomy, as well as cyber-physical systems with artificial intelligence in any form.  It is proposed to recognize socially dangerous acts committed with the use of robotics as crimes committed in a generally dangerous way, if there are grounds for doing so. It is concluded that the commission of acts through robotics is capable, in certain cases, of creating a plurality of crimes in the form of a real aggregate. The expanding powers of State security bodies, which can carry out the functions of state policy development, legal regulation, control and supervision in the field of robotics application, have been verified.
