Robotics

 The 3 laws of robotics are as follows:

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 the orders given 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.

Isaac Asimov created the 3 laws of robotics.

The Terregator  is a mobile robot device designed to provide a reliable and rugged testbed for both indoor and outdoor work in robotic navigation, guidance, sensor interpretation, and architectures.

The robots that shouldn't be created are robots that are household robots because humans would become dependent on those robots.
