- //Isaac Asimov's// 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 the orders** given 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.
