==Tilden's laws ==
[[Mark W. Tilden]] is a robotics physicist who was a pioneer in developing simple robotics.<ref name=wired1>{{cite magazine| url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.09/tilden.html?pg=1&topic= | magazine=Wired | first=Fred | last=Hapgood | title=Chaotic Robotics | issue = 9 | date = September 1994| volume=2 }}</ref>

Tilden later disparaged his earlier work as "wimpy" for having been based on the human-centric Asimov laws. He created three new guiding principles/rules for "wild" robots:<ref name=wired1/><ref>{{cite web |first=Ashley |last=Dunn |url=http://partners.nytimes.com/library/cyber/surf/0605surf.html |title=Machine Intelligence, Part II: From Bumper Cars to Electronic Minds |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=1996-06-05 |accessdate=2009-07-26 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://makezine.com/06/beam/ |title=makezine.com: A Beginner's Guide to BEAM<!-- Bot generated title --> |quote=(Most of the article is subscription-only content.) }}</ref>

# A robot must protect its existence at all costs.
# A robot must obtain and maintain access to its own power source.
# A robot must continually search for better power sources.

Within these three rules for "wild" life, Tilden is basically stating his goal as: "...proctoring a silicon species into sentience, but with full control over the specs. Not plant. Not animal. Something else."<ref>{{cite magazine| url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.09/tilden.html?pg=2&topic= | magazine=Wired | first=Fred | last=Hapgood | title=Chaotic Robotics (continued) | issue = 9 | date = September 1994| volume=2 }}</ref>
