Raise your hands, Mr / Robot You're under arrest !!!!!

Humans have long dreamed about creating mechanical slaves that effortlessly robotcarry out our daily tasks. Imagine being able to tell a robot to mow the lawn, or paint the fence, or entertain you, or drive you somewhere, or even teach you about something. Will this be a reality?
Now the question is . what is the definition of Robot ?
According to Savage (1999, p. 127) a robot is a device that is re-programmable and multi-functional.
To be a robot a device must also have some degree of autonomy (the ability to carry on tasks self-sufficiently).
Therefore, a dishwasher which carries out a single task cannot be classified as a robot. Similarly, a remote controlled vehicle has no autonomy so it also cannot be classed as a robot.
Scientists must overcome some persistent barriers if they are to create competent humanoid robots.
1- Speech synthesis: the ability to get a robotic device to communicate using language.
2- Voice recognition: the ability to get a robot to understand us. Two seconds of speech may contain as much as 100 000 bits of data so it is extremely challenging to create computers powerful enough to process this amount of data.
3- Vision: the ability to get a robot to react as humans do to the physical environment using sophisticated vision systems.
4- Movement: the ability to get a robot to move around in the physical environment as humans can.
In your opinion will our society need to create special laws governing robotic technologies?
imageAsimov's Laws of Robotics Laws 1-3 were published in I, Robot, 1950                      Law 0 was added by Asimov later.
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 to 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 Laws.
0. A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
