develop a set of three ‘laws’ for robots
其作品以《基地系列》、《银河帝国三部曲》和《机器人系列》三大系列被誉为“科幻圣经 ”。曾获代表科幻界最高荣誉的雨果奖和星云终身成就大师奖。他提出的“机器人学三定律”被称为“现代机器人学的基石”。
Isaac Asimov is an American scientist and author, who wrote science fiction and proposed three Laws of Robotics in the 1940's.
Law Ⅰ: A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
第1定律:机器人不能伤害人类,或因不作为
(袖手旁观)使人类受到伤害;
Law Ⅱ: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
第2定律:机器人必须服从人类的命令,除非这些命令和第一定律相抵触;
Law Ⅲ: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
第3定律:在不违反第一、第二定律的前提下,机器人必须保护自己不受伤害

Write down the ending of the story
Then the front door bell rang. Tony let her go and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered — Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone" and ran to her bed. She cried all night.
The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder. He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, which would make them envy Claire. But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt — you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
