Nah, not trying to up Asimov.\u00a0 Just ideas for my robots:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All robots must have a spring-mounted “head”, like 6″ long, so the head bobbles around as the robot moves.\n
      \n
    1. Head ideas: baby doll head, Barbie, GI Joe, poop icon<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. All robots must make a sound as they’re active.\u00a0 Should be related to the head (see 1. above), e.g., robot should quack if the head it a duck, etc.\n
        \n
      1. silly sounds allowed; eg, Roomba should say “ouch” when it hits things.<\/li>\n
      2. of course, such sounds should be easily mutable.<\/li>\n
      3. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      4. All robots will have a BRS (Big Red Switch) that will remove energy (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, whatever) from the robot without fail.\u00a0 This will be a hard-contact on the incoming mains power.\u00a0 This BRS may include a Molly Guard to prevent accidental power offs.\n
          \n
        1. The purpose of this BRS is to ensure the robots can’t take over the world.\u00a0 We can always just turn them off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n

          2021-09-21 – which reminds me that I need to link to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          I humbly offer my rule 3. from above (all robots must have a Big Red Switch<\/a>) tp be inserted as Rule 0. for before Asimov’s Rule 1.<\/p>\n
