No, much of Asimov's work was within the themes of ways that the laws could be obeyed while still causing conflict, thereby giving robotic characters more of an ability to be round, rather than flat ones., at least from my standpoint.
Yeah, they could want to do things, but they couldn't. Some weird shit happens occasionally, but
it is impossible for a robot to abandon its programmed laws. Asimov says it isn't even possible, but that's probably just what people are told in his universe so that they won't try. Because there is a story where the AI has gotten it's first law removed, and the robot was
fucking evil.There are two stories I really like in
I, Robot: Q-T the prophet, showing what happen if robots believe humans are not their creators. They develop their own logic to explain following the laws.
Second is... R-T, I think? It's the one on Mars. One of the men (Red, the one who doesn't understand robopschycology as much as the other guy, whose name I have forgotten) tells the 'bot to go collect some gas, but the gas is dangerous. It ends up getting stuck and confused. It wasn't specifically ordered to collect, it was more suggested. But the gas was starting to damage the 'bot, so it backed up. Cyclic, you know? And it wasn't hearing any orders. So, the smart guy went out there, and put himself in danger. The first law took over, and the robot went back to base to save the man's life.
So, yeah. No way a robot can overcome the laws, not in the books. If that shitty movie that is not really based off the book tells you otherwise, don't listen to it.
