Three Laws of Robotics
Law 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Law 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Law 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Issac Asimov (1920-1992)
