A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.A robot must obey 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.
There’s a 4th law (actually canned the zeroth law) coined by Asimov that says “A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm”.
There are many other laws from other authors, such as “A robot may reproduce, as long as such reproduction does not interfere with the 1st or 2nd or 3rd Law”, “A robot must establish its identity as a robot in all cases”, and “A robot must know it is a robot.”
