Robotics Expert Witnesses
What is a robotics expert witness?
Robotics expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds and extensive knowledge in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and/or mechatronics, and often have university professor experience. A robotics expert specializing in autonomous products may also have a background in artificial intelligence, machine learning, sensor networks, or human robot interaction. The chosen expert is oftentimes an active member of an industry or technical organization such as the Robotics Industry Association or IEEE.
What types of cases require a robotics expert witness?
A robotics expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent litigation in federal court or a trade secret dispute. It could be a patent infringement case in the District Court, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC).
What litigation support work might a robotics expert witness be expected to perform?
Litigation support by a robotics expert witness could include research and authoring expert reports, forensic engineering, providing expert opinions, testimony at deposition and at trial. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, an attorney may request a technical expert with prior expert witness experience. It is essential that a robotic technology expert witness possess the ability to provide expert testimony in such a manner that a jury can understand the technology and evidence.
