To understand "Robot Dreams" better, you need to know Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. They are the three main rules that dictate how robots are to interact with humans in the future:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
