If they break them, do robots risk robot hell?

There are only four, the original three were established in 1942:

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 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


The fourth law (called law zero) was added later when the idea of robots taking responsibility for governing whole planets was considered:

0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
