Newton's laws of motion in the sense that the size and shape of the object's body are neglected to focus on its motion more easily. This can be done when the object is small compared to the distances involved in its analysis, or the deformation and rotation of the body are of no importance. In this way, even a planet can be idealised as a particle for analysis of its orbital motion around a star. In their original form, Newton's laws of motion are not adequate to characterise the motion of rigid bodies and deformable bodies. Leonhard Euler in 1750 introduced a generalisation of
Three Laws of Robotics so long as this does not conflict with the first three laws. The philosophy behind these changes is that "New Law" robots should be partners rather than slaves to humanity, according to Fredda Leving, who designed these New Law Robots. According to the first book's introduction, Allen devised the New Laws in discussion with Asimov himself. However, the "Encyclopedia of Science Fiction" says that "With permission from Asimov, Allen rethought the Three Laws and developed a new set,". Jack Williamson's novelette "With Folded Hands" (1947), later rewritten as the novel "The Humanoids", deals with robot servants whose prime directive is
