Asimov himself proved that there are loopholes in his three (and later 4) laws of robotics.
In one of his stories a character used a robot to commit murder. He told the robot to put the powder from the bag on the top shelf of a certain cupboard into his wife's coffee, and then serve it to her. Robots would have to be way smarter than people to realize that a human would come to harm from that action.

The problem is that if a robot cannot tell right from wrong then the robot can not follow the three laws no matter how hard it tries.
