About

Vincenzo Casamassima is a leading scholar at the intersection of law, technology, and fundamental rights, with a primary focus on the legal and ethical implications of robotics and artificial intelligence. His seminal work, "Robotic Technologies and Fundamental Rights" (2013, 18 citations), is a foundational contribution that systematically examines how autonomous systems—those displaying agency and interacting with human bodies and environments—challenge existing legal frameworks. Casamassima argues that current regulations lack robotics-specific provisions, creating critical gaps in the protection of human dignity, privacy, and autonomy. By mapping these regulatory voids, he has shaped the discourse on how to adapt fundamental rights doctrines to an era of increasingly autonomous machines. His research is notable for bridging technical realities with legal theory, offering a nuanced critique that has influenced policymakers and scholars alike. Beyond this core paper, Casamassima continues to explore how emerging technologies demand a rethinking of liability, accountability, and human agency. His work remains essential reading for anyone grappling with the legal governance of robotics, underscoring that the future of rights depends on proactive, interdisciplinary engagement with technological change.
