The Laws of Swarm Construction Robots

The Three Laws of Robotics are a set of rules devised by science fiction author Isaac Asimov.

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.

I add the following technical ones for the construction robots I keep emphasizing.

- They should collaborate with each other, swarm.

- The robot should be modular. Depending on the task they can have wheels on or legs.

- The robot should be able to replace its modules itself. Therefore, connectors should be special not hundred screws to mount a part.

- The moving parts should be minimal and should be less affected by sand storms, lunar dust.

- The robot should be weather sealed from snow, water, cold and hot. Specialized versions should be water resistant up to certain depths.

- They should be constructed from light and durable materials and they should fit inside a half container. The robots should be easily transportable via land, water, air and space.

- They should be powered by renewable energy sources. No gasoline or coal.

- They should not reproduce themselves without human approval.
