LawⅠ: A robot may not injure a human being or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
机器人不能伤害人类，或因不作为(袖手旁观)使人类受到伤害；
LawⅡ: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
机器人必须服从人类的命令，除非这些命令和第一定律相抵触；
Law Ⅲ: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
在不违反第一、第二定律的前提下，机器人必须保护自己不受伤害。
