Some amateur roboticists have evidently believed that the laws have a status akin to the laws of physics, that a situation which violates these laws is inherently impossible. This is incorrect, as the laws are quite deliberately hardwired into the positronic brains of Asimov's robots. The robots in Asimov's stories are incapable of violating the Three Laws, but there is nothing to stop any robot in other stories or in the real world from being constructed without them. Indeed, the problems of perception and rational analysis involved make it seem likely that only an extremely advanced artificial intelligence or robot could apply the laws in real-world situations.
The Three Laws are seen as a future ideal by those working in artificial intelligence - once an intelligence has reached the stage where it can comprehend these laws, it is truly intelligent. See Turing Test.
