# A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. # A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. # A robot must protect its own existence aslong as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. # ---I. Asimov "I, Robot", p. 40. # from http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/chaput/research/Rodney/html/rules.html
