For example, changing the first law could result in harm to a human and is thus a violation of the first law.]]>Aug 4th 2007 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 4th 2007 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/
The Three Laws have a purpose in robotics.

These "laws" are just pretend.]]>Aug 4th 2007 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 4th 2007 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/GR]]>Aug 4th 2007 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/
The prospect of trying to learn from science fiction is simply absurd. Did you learn how to open a wormhole to travel across the galaxy in from Stargate? Did you learn how to create a laser enhanced lens to see into the future from John Woo’s Pay Cheque (Check for Americans)? No you didn’t. You know why? Because it’s bloody fiction! Fiction != reality.]]>Aug 4th 2007 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/
Men have long been been inspired by the fantasy of others in the development of technology. I'm sorry if this sounds a little heavy handed, but to think that we can learn nothing from fantasy and fiction is simply naive.]]>Aug 4th 2007 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 5th 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/How do you know if the robot is actually aware?
Will it tell you? I'm sure it is limited to it's gathered input, and all the "awareness" it can provide is just a steady feed of data that keeps it from hitting walls and falling of cliffs.

Second, several of these "laws" I've seen in the definition of living things, basically saying "A robot should be a living thing".]]>Aug 4th 2007 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 6th 2007 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 6th 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/Aug 13th 2007 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/I think...therefore...I am.

Wre doing sience, look, look, look!!!

They scripted the toy at all presetations, how can it be aware of its enviroment without eyes anyhow, this is just stupid.

The only laws that turn a robot into a live form are the following:

Mark W. Tilden created his Law of Robotics as a response to Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. They are as follows:

A robot must protect its existence at all costs.
A robot must obtain and maintain access to its own power source.
A robot must continually search for better power sources.

These are also informally known as:
Protect thy ass.
Feed thy ass.
Move thy ass to better real estate.
(From Junkbots, Bugbots & Bots on Wheels.)]]>Aug 4th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/04/ugobe-defines-its-own-three-laws-dooms-us-all-to-future-of-robo/
It has eyes... There's a color camera in the nose:

I believe the second should be the origin and development of a robotic faith in someone or someting greater than itself (created spontaneously by said robots, of course).

Finally, the desire of one robot to impose its own beliefs and will upon others (resulting in a religious schism or perhaps even war amoungst robotkind).

Or, maybe the robots will just one day declare themselves sentient and start demanding respect for their rights as such.

Establishment: of course you are my bright little star,
I’ve miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer,
You’re magnetic ink.

First man: I’m more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

Inner man: there you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave
And keep on thinking free. /pre>

A (robot) life form must be affordable and priced under $300.00.
