  • Asimov states the three laws of robotics, which is really an imperfect system when you think of it as it leaves a big loop hole where by a person could order a robot to commit a vast array of crimes against a person (e.g. “Robot, steal that man's wallet for me.”) and the robot would blindly obey. A better system is my 1 law of robotics which is simply 'Robot, don't be a tw*t':
