I usually hate these as they are obvious slavery metaphors but 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.

The word robot was literally derived from the Czech term for slavery. thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/origin-word-...

Yeh my writing was clumsy what I intended to convey was the Three Laws are pro slavery most good robot stories are anti slavery.
