Newton's laws of motion speed. This is evident in space probes that continuously move in outer space. Changes in motion must be imposed against the tendency of an object to retain its state of motion. In the absence of net forces, a moving object tends to move along a straight line path indefinitely. Newton placed the first law of motion to establish frames of reference for which the other laws are applicable. The first law of motion postulates the existence of at least one frame of reference called a Newtonian or inertial reference frame, relative to which the motion of a particle not subject
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
