Do you know anything about his famous Three Laws of Robotics? Law 1:A robot may not injure a human being,or,through inaction,allow a human being to come to harm. Law 2:A robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law. Law 3:A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law. In Asimov’s stories,the robots must follow these laws so that they do not attack the humans that created them.
