0 - Default Title
Description
ROBOT TONY is the first robot designed to perform domestic duties by the US Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation. Is it Tony's fault that the lady of the house where he's field tested falls in love with him? ROBOT AL was intended for shipment to a mining outfit on the moon. Instead, he's loose in the mountains of Virginia ... building from scraps of junk his very own, very dangerous disintegrator. Goodbye, Virginia? ROBOT LENNY answers workaday questions in babytalk. So why is Dr Susan Calvin, the world's top robopsychologist, fascinated by this messed up specimen of an industrial robot? 'THE REST OF THE ROBOTS' is the second timeless, amazing and amusing volume of Isaac Asimov's robot stories, offering golden insights into robot thought processes. Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics were programmed into real computers thirty years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - with surprising results. Readers of today still have many platinum iridium surprises in store ... 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 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 Law
