New rules for robots

By BBC World Service

Should a robot be allowed to react if it is attacked by a person? A new blueprint for robot makers aims to set out how machines should behave.

Presented by Jane Wakefiled, with BBC Online tech editor Leo Kelion, and special guest Annabelle Timsit from the Quartz website.
