The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With
these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of
robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot,
Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of
interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its
ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which
humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
