Abstract

One of the fundamental problems posed by robotics is its effect on the labor market. To solve this problems is it necessary to make changes to the Labor Law (and also the Social Security Law), i.e. in the regulatory framework of labor relations in the robotized neo-technological context.

    Del Rey Guanter, S.: Robótica y su impacto en los Recursos Humanos y en el marco regulatorio de las Relaciones Laborales, Edit.Wolter Kluwer, 2018, Chapter 3, describes these elements in the following way: autonomy, acquired by means of sensors and/or data sharing and analysis (interconnectivity); physical configuration, i.e. a minimum physical materialization, which entails the possibility of physical movement applied to the work, with the possibility of total or partial displacement; interaction with the environment with response capability by means of the appropriate programming.
