What is robotics and its laws?
Nowadays, robotics is defined as a branch of engineering that embraces conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots. Its objective is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.
The word
robotics first appeared in Isaac Asimov’s science-fiction story Runaround (1942), in which this American writer also formulated the Three Laws of robotics.
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 as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Later, Asimov added a fourth (or more precisely a Zeroth law) one:
A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.Subscribe- t.me/askmenow
