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 orders given to 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.

So you are wrong: Human lives were not at stake, so therefore the robot decided to preserve itself in compliance with the third law.]]>Jul 16th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/
Are those laws just from the movie iRobot, or has the scientific community usurped them since they may be applicable in the near future. No sarcasm here, just curious.]]>Jul 16th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/
the three laws were thought up by isaac asimov, and they've pretty much become a staple in science fiction. I, Robot is a classic by asimov, and the movie was adapted from the novel.

also, i hope to never ever see a robot named iRobot. ever.]]>Jul 16th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/mars-phoenix-lander-saves-itself-with-some-quick-thinking/2. Protect the innocent
3. Uphold the law
