The three laws of robotics are: per Asimov
(1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
(2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
(3) A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Three laws of neurorobotics;
According to the aforementioned desirable features of a neurorobot, we have re-formulated the three laws of robotics into three laws for robotics in neurorehabilitation:
(1) A robot for neurorehabilitation may not injure a patient or allow a patient to come to harm.
(2) A robot must obey the orders given it by therapists(Why therapists, why not the patient?), except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
(3) A robot must adapt its behavior to patients’ abilities in a transparent manner as long as this does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Abstract
Most studies and reviews on robots for neurorehabilitation focus on their effectiveness. These studies often report inconsistent results. This and many other reasons limit the credit given to these robots by therapists and patients. Further, neurorehabilitation is often still based on therapists’ expertise, with competition among different schools of thought, generating substantial uncertainty about what exactly a neurorehabilitation robot should do. Little attention has been given to ethics. This review adopts anew approach, inspired by Asimov’s three laws of robotics and based on the most recent studies in neurorobotics, for proposing new guidelines for designing and using robots for neurorehabilitation. We propose three laws of neurorobotics based on the ethical need for safe and effective robots, the redefinition of their role as therapist helpers, and the need for clear and transparent human–machine inter-faces. These laws may allow engineers and clinicians to work closely together on a new generation of neurorobots.
