{{Short description|Robotics}}
{{Robotic laws}}
'''Laws of robotics''' are any set of laws, rules, or principles, which are intended as a fundamental framework to underpin the behavior of [[robot]]s designed to have a degree of [[autonomy]]. Robots of this degree of complexity do not yet exist, but they have been widely anticipated in [[science fiction]], [[movie|films]] and are a topic of active [[research and development]] in the fields of [[robotics]] and [[artificial intelligence]].

The best known set of laws are [[Three Laws of Robotics|those written]] by [[Isaac Asimov]] in the 1940s, or based upon them, but other sets of laws have been proposed by researchers in the decades since then.
