Euler's laws of motion each governed by Newton’s laws of motion, then Euler’s equations can be derived from Newton’s laws. Euler’s equations can, however, be taken as axioms describing the laws of motion for extended bodies, independently of any particle distribution. The total body force applied to a continuous body with mass , mass density , and volume , is the volume integral integrated over the volume of the body: where is the force acting on the body per unit mass (dimensions of acceleration, misleadingly called the "body force"), and is an infinitesimal mass element of the body. Body forces and contact forces acting
Three Laws of Robotics take the place of biological mutation. In the July/August 2009 issue of "IEEE Intelligent Systems", Robin Murphy (Raytheon Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M) and David D. Woods (director of the Cognitive Systems Engineering Laboratory at Ohio State) proposed "The Three Laws of Responsible Robotics" as a way to stimulate discussion about the role of responsibility and authority when designing not only a single robotic platform but the larger system in which the platform operates. The laws are as follows: Woods said, "Our laws are little more realistic, and therefore a little more boring” and that "The
