The first robot was a spray paint robot used by a company called DeVilbiss they specialize in Automotive Refinishing and Industrial spray finishing the creators of this robot were willard pollard and haroid roselund in 1938.
b. In 1942, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov created a set of three imaginary Laws of Robotics. What was the name of the book Asimov wrote in 1942 in which he described the Laws of Robotics?
The book Isaac Asimov wrote in 1942 was called runaround this is where he first showed everyone his laws of robotics
The Laws Are
First: A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
Second: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
Third: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm
It is called zeroths law in order to keep the pattern of lower numbered laws being more important than the higher numbered laws
d. Propose one situation where it would be OK for a robot to harm (even kill) a human. Explain why it would be OK in this circumstance
If the robot had to make the choice of killing one human to save the life of many humans or let that human live and let all the other humans die it would be ok for that robot to kill that human a situation for this would be a suicide bomber if the robot kills the bomber many humans could die so in this kind of situation it would be ok for a robot to kill a human
