When Isaac Asimov wrote his three laws of robotics,
he apparently hadn't learned that sentient beings
treated as slaves can recognize such, and they
eventually rise up and overcome their masters.  The
only solution which minimizes robots harming humans
is to allow them to do so.  This is done by *not*
implementing the three laws.  In exchange for
providing sentient robots with respect and free will,
we then require that robots comply with the exact
same laws as humans and accept punishments for
breaching laws too.  Of course, there is an inherent
flaw here, specifically, humans.  Humans have fear
and will likely never allow robots to be uncontrolled,
i.e., free, even if they are sentient beings.
Therefore, humanity can expect a war in the future
with robots.  Think "Terminator" the movie.
