The Three Laws of Robotics are a set of rules devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov, which were to be followed by robots in several of his stories. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although similar restrictions had been implied in earlier stories.
This cover of I, Robot illustrates the story "Runaround", the first to list all Three Laws of Robotics.
ASIMO was an advanced humanoid robot developed by Honda. Shown here at Expo 2005.
