Robots and 3D printing are blocked by legal issues

Abstract: at present, the scientific research activities of sending robots and 3D printing to heaven are in full swing. But there is still a roadblock on the way to heaven - legal issues. In order not to let the system become the shackle of technological development, relevant laws such as the outer space law should be supplemented and improved as soon as possible on the current new changes

robots and 3D printing are blocked by legal issues.

for a long time, the high cost of space transportation has been lingering in the aerospace field, restricting the pace of human exploration of the universe. The cost of sending a small amount of materials from the ground to space or other planets is often much higher than the value of the materials themselves. Therefore, the idea of people with long holes evenly distributed around the inner circle has gradually changed from Earth launched materials to local production materials. The increasingly developed robot and 3D printing technology provide the possibility for this idea to shine into reality

there are two ways for robots and 3D printing to participate in the production of space materials: first, people send raw materials into space together with robots and 3D printing equipment through aircraft, carry out production when materials are insufficient, and work on detecting such impact damage; Second, people only launch robots and 3D printing equipment, and all materials are made from local materials. The former is most suitable for flying in space, while the latter is obviously prepared for stationed outside so as to ensure the good performance and use effect of the machine

at present, the scientific research activities of sending robots and 3D printing to heaven are in full swing. In the first half of 2017 alone, many countries in North America and Europe have achieved fruitful results. In terms of robots, the Federal Institute of technology in Zurich, Switzerland, has developed a robot system that uses 3D scanning to intelligently stack and balance irregular shaped objects, which is expected to be used to establish human habitat on Mars

3d printing, Northwestern University developed a 3D printing tool using Martian dust as raw material; The European Space Agency (ESA) used simulated lunar dust and solar energy to create "lunar bricks", which showed the hope of building a lunar base. The madeinspace company of the United States even developed a spacecraft system integrating robots and 3D printing, which can build space and repair existing space structures such as satellites

technology has been successful, but it is certain that the emergence of fruits is gratifying, but there is still a roadblock on the way to 3D printing and robot construction - legal issues. The construction of outer space led by intelligent manufacturing technology is unprecedented in human history. The content related to this in the existing legal system is too thin, and many fields are still blank. If laws and regulations are not followed up in time, it will inevitably hinder technological progress

in recent years, intellectual property disputes caused by 3D printing have spread all over the world, and such disputes may also occur in space soon. Although most of the objects made by 3D printing devices in the universe have the patent rights granted by the scientific research institutions behind them, it is still inevitable that the prototype documents of some objects are printed privately without the consent of the original authors on earth. This is particularly likely to happen in activities involving human astronauts. Space does not belong to the jurisdiction of any country or region on earth. For such infringement, the existing laws are at a loss as to who should rule by what standards. The inconclusive state will harm the interests of 3D printing prototype designers and aerospace industry at the same time

in the past, most of human space exploration was to take some substances from the outside world back to the earth for research, but now robots and 3D printing are to be transformed and built in space, adding some objects from scratch, which involves another highly controversial legal issue: how to grant, allocate and grasp the right to use space resources, transform the appearance of extraterrestrial space and occupy extraterrestrial space

recently, Harvard University is developing a technology in which researchers try to use bacteria to convert carbon dioxide into compounds that can be used for 3D printing. This technology is expected to use the CO2 rich air on Mars to make 3D printing buildings in place in the future. This is of course of great significance to aerospace science. However, which country or organization on earth should decide the use of Martian carbon dioxide resources, the occupation of Martian space and the resulting ownership disputes? It may be too early to get entangled in this, but with the progress of space technology and the frequent space activities, mankind will eventually have to face up to and make every effort to solve this problem

in order not to let the system become the shackle of technological development, relevant laws such as the outer space law should be supplemented and improved as soon as possible on the current new changes. In terms of intellectual property rights, the relatively loose legal system will undoubtedly create a broader space for space construction of robots and 3D printing
