Robot Master

Famous quotes containing the words robot and/or master:

“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

“He may have been a master of his fate,
And of his atoms,—ready as another
In his emergence to exonerate
His father and his mother;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
