Robots are one of important symbols of the technological revolution of the turn of the 20 thand 21 stcenturies. The article focuses on the analysis of the basis of civil liability for damage caused by intelligent robots, with particular emphasis on the Council Directive 85/37 of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States regarding li- ability for defective products. The analysis of the creative case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union shows that the directive provides a sufficient basis for attributing responsibility for intelligent robots.
