About
Angela Daly is a distinguished legal and ethics scholar whose research sits at the intersection of emerging technologies, robotics, and regulatory frameworks. Her work has made significant contributions to understanding how legal systems and ethical principles must evolve to address the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and advanced robotics, particularly in manufacturing and workplace environments. Daly's most influential contributions include pioneering ethical frameworks for human-robot collaboration in people-centric manufacturing (garnering 59 citations), demonstrating her capacity to bridge technical innovation with humanistic values. Her 2020 examination of robot legal personhood and rights (34 citations) has become an essential reference point for scholars navigating the philosophical and regulatory complexities of AI governance. Her legal risk assessment for EU policymakers on encoding safety standards into smart robots (27 citations) reflects her practical policy orientation and commitment to worker protection in an era of collaborative robotics. What distinguishes Daly's scholarship is its dual focus on both the theoretical dimensions of robot rights and the concrete regulatory mechanisms needed to protect human workers sharing spaces with intelligent machines. Her collaborative approach, engaging European subject-matter experts across disciplines, underscores her commitment to producing research that is rigorously grounded and genuinely policy-relevant.
