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 letter and spirit they have some similarities with Asimov's Three Laws. They are: These particular laws allow Robocop to harm a human being in order to protect another human, fulfilling his role as would a human law enforcement officer. The classified fourth directive keeps him from arresting any senior OCP officer, effectively putting OCP management above the law. The plot of the film released in 2004 under the name, "I, Robot" is "suggested by" Asimov's robot fiction stories and advertising for the film included a trailer featuring the Three Laws followed by the aphorism, "Rules were made to be broken".
