The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A Robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2. A Robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A Robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
*Later a Fourth Law was added (The Zeroth Law):
A Robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
Apparently current military philosophers and thinkers are not the only ones contemplating the future reality and the use of robots in warfare.
