They have the potential to disrupt existing socio-economic facets of everyday life. Yet few studies have analysed the development of robotics innovation. This paper closes this gap by analysing current developments in innovation in robotics; how it is diffused, and what role is played by intellectual property (IP). The paper argues that robotics clusters are mainly located in the US and Europe, despite a growing presence in South Korea and China. The robotics innovation ecosystem builds on cooperative networks of actors, including individuals, research institutions, and firms. Governments play a significant role in supporting robotics innovation through funding, military demand, and national robotics strategies. Robotics competitions and prizes provide for an important incentive to innovation. Patents are used to exclude third parties to secure freedom of operation, license technologies, and avoid litigation. The countries with the highest number of patent claims are Japan, China, South Korea, and the US. The growing stock of patents owned by universities and PROs, particularly in China, is noteworthy too. Automotive and electronics companies are still the largest patent filers, but medical technologies and the Internet are emerging as new actors in the field. Secrecy is often used as a tool to appropriate innovation. Copyright protection is relevant to robotics also, mainly for its role in protecting software. Finally, open-source robotics platforms are increasingly used in the early stages of the innovation process as they allow new actors in the robotics field to optimize their initial spending on innovation. 000048883 650_0 $$aArtificial intelligence. 000048883 650_0 $$aRobotics$$xLaw and legislation. 000048883 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000048883 650_0 $$aPatents. 000048883 650_0 $$aInternet$$xLaw and legislation. 000048883 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000048883 7001_ $$aKeisner, Andrew,$$eauthor. 000048883 7001_ $$aRaffo, Julio,$$eauthor. 000048883 7001_ $$aWunsch-Vincent, Sacha,$$eauthor. 000048883 7870_ $$thttps://tind.wipo.int/record/28905 000048883 830_0 $$aJournal of the National Research University Higher School of Economics ;$$vVolume 10, Number 2, 2016. 000048883 85641 $$uhttps://foresight-journal.hse.ru/en/2016-10-2/185673362.html$$yAvailable Online 000048883 980__ $$aBIB
