According to his autobiographical writings, Asimov included the First Law's "inaction" clause because of Arthur Hugh Clough's poem " The Latest Decalogue" ( text in Wikisource), which includes the satirical lines "Thou shalt not kill, but needst not strive / officiously to keep alive". Several years later Asimov's friend Randall Garrett attributed the Laws to a symbiotic partnership between the two men -a suggestion that Asimov adopted enthusiastically. Campbell claimed that Asimov had the Three Laws already in his mind and that they simply needed to be stated explicitly. Campbell, from a conversation that took place on 23 December 1940. Īsimov attributes the Three Laws to John W. Frederik Pohl published the story under the title “Strange Playfellow” in Super Science Stories September 1940. Campbell rejected it, claiming that it bore too strong a resemblance to Lester del Rey's " Helen O'Loy", published in December 1938-the story of a robot that is so much like a person that she falls in love with her creator and becomes his ideal wife. Campbell the editor of Astounding Science-Fiction. Thirteen days later he took " Robbie" to John W. Three days later Asimov began writing "my own story of a sympathetic and noble robot", his 14th story.

(This was the first of a series of ten stories the next year "Adam Link's Vengeance" (1940) featured Adam thinking "A robot must never kill a human, of his own free will.") Asimov admired the story. On May 3, 1939, Asimov attended a meeting of the Queens ( New York) Science Fiction Society where he met Earl and Otto Binder who had recently published a short story "I, Robot" featuring a sympathetic robot named Adam Link who was misunderstood and motivated by love and honor. Knowledge has its dangers, yes, but is the response to be a retreat from knowledge? Or is knowledge to be used as itself a barrier to the dangers it brings?" He decided that in his stories a robot would not "turn stupidly on his creator for no purpose but to demonstrate, for one more weary time, the crime and punishment of Faust." robots were created and destroyed their creator.
In The Rest of the Robots, published in 1964, Isaac Asimov noted that when he began writing in 1940 he felt that "one of the stock plots of science fiction was .
Other authors working in Asimov's fictional universe have adopted them and references, often parodic, appear throughout science fiction as well as in other genres. Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself.
The Laws are incorporated into almost all of the positronic robots appearing in his fiction, and cannot be bypassed, being intended as a safety feature. These form an organizing principle and unifying theme for Asimov's robotic-based fiction, appearing in his Robot series, the stories linked to it, and his Lucky Starr series of young-adult fiction. Third Law A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Second Law A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. The Three Laws, quoted from the "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.", are: First Law A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story " Runaround" (included in the 1950 collection I, Robot), although they had been foreshadowed in some earlier stories. The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov.
