An Update to the 3-laws of Robotics

I found this on the "AIAA Daily Launch":
"Scientists Praise NASA For Way It Handles Its Robots.
Space.com (8/19, Hsu) reports, "Artificial intelligence researchers often idealize Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics as the signpost for robot-human interaction. But some robotics experts say that the concept could use a practical makeover to recognize the current limitations of robots." David Woods of Ohio State University and Robin Murphy of Texas A&M University proposed a revised version of Asimov's Three Laws. They also "suggested that Earth-bound robot handlers could take a hint from NASA when it comes to robot-human interaction," with Murphy praising the agency for its "methodical approach that carefully tests robotic probes and rovers, recognizes the limits of robots, and tries to ensure that human operators can quickly jump into the driver's seat when necessary."

And here is the link to the article:
Space.com-3-laws

For me, it - once again - emphasizes that those of us who lurk on this and the controls forum have our own responsibilites regarding creating robots that can play the game well, and do it with a certain sense of safety in mind.

hey! it's pre-season already?!?
