yeah, but does it do windows?
have you heard about the NS-5, the world's first fully automated domestic assistant, positronic brain and all? it also features onboard multi-energy capture, refinement and pulmonary system and is to be considerate, intuitive and fun.sci-fi? certainly! based on isaac asimov's brilliant book of the same name, I, robot is currently in post-production and should hit theatres 16 july. the plot? well, in the year 2035 a techno-phobic chicago detective investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which would mean the until-then-deemed-impossible had happened: the laws of robotics* were violated.
*in order to cope with the potential for robots to harm people, isaac asimov in conjunction with science fiction author and editor john w campbell, formulated the laws of robotics. he subjected all of his fictional robots to these laws by having them incorporated within the architecture of their "platinum-iridium positronic brains". the laws first appeared publicly in asimov's fourth robot short story, runaround.
the 1940 laws of robotics:
first law: a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
second law: a robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the first law.
third law: a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
thank you bicaboc.
