Impossible, with Asimov's Three laws of Robotics...

I would assume that the real ones would have the laws programmed into
them.

Let's see:

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 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 Law.
4. A robot must destroy any form of life that is not a human being if
it may pose a threat to human beings now or in the future.
5. Human beings are defined solely as members of the Japanese race.

No, I don't like the sound of this already. That part about obeying all
orders of the Chrysanthemum Throne immediately and unequivocally, even
if they violate any of the other laws, is a little spooky also. :-)
On a more serious note....as some science fiction writer once pointed
out, about the time the first infrared homing AAM started closing in on
its prey, the three laws went right out the window.
