Indications:
- robotic pets keep older adults more active, calm agitation, & provide social stimuli
- socially assistive robots can help people make behavioral changes [3]
Notes:
- Asimov's laws are set of 3 rules devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov, which were to be followed by robots in several of his stories [4].
- Asimov later added a 'Zeroth law' which precedes the others. .
- 0: A robot may not harm mankind, or, by inaction, allow mankind to come to harm
- 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 [4]
