Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics were programmed into real computers thirty years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - with surprising results. Readers of today still have many surprises in store... <P>THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS: <P>1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm <P>2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law <P>3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law 2361910 1982 The Complete Robot (Robot Series) total:586|5:230|4:229|3:113|2:10|1:4| 586 2429 772 18 3 2 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 17:23:06 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 06:51:02 -0700 2009 I, Robot as well as a bunch of other robot stories.
