develop a set of three ‘laws’ for robots
其作品以《基地系列》、《银河帝国三部曲》和《机器人系列》三大系列被誉为“科幻圣经 ”。曾获代表科幻界最高荣誉的雨果奖和星云终身成就大师奖。他提出的“机器人学三定律”被称为“现代机器人学的基石”。
第一定律:机器人不得伤害人类个体，或者目睹人类个体将遭受危险而袖手不管。
第二定律:机器人必须服从人给予它的命令，当该命令与第一定律冲突时例外。
第三定律:机器人在不违反第一、第二定律的情况下要尽可能保护自己的生存。

Listen to the rest of the story and check how different it is from your ending.
Then the front door bell rang. Tony let her go and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered — Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone" and ran to her bed. She cried all night.
The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder. He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, which would make them envy Claire. But even though Tony had been so clever and caring, he would have to be rebuilt — you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
