Check out these emerging companies in the educational robot market: Emotix (India), FANUC (Japan), Hanson Robotics (China), Photon Entertainment (Poland), Robolink (US), ROBOTIS (South Korea), and SoftBank Robotics Group (Japan).
And, don’t forget to take a look at the Civil Law Rules of Robotics proposed by the European parliament to regulate the use of robots and their employment (see “License for Designers” and “License for Users” section located at the end of the document).
