The Asimov Restrictions on hubots is named for Sci Fi author and Biochemist Isaac Asimov. Asimov's Three Laws on Robotics, as mentioned in his Robot, Empire and Foundation novel series, governs how hubots are generally supposed to behave and interact among humans.
Asimov Three Laws of Robotics 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.

As of November 2014, Lars Lundström said in an interview with Festival Court Métrange, "We have planned for a third season, we have written a whole outline and some scripts, but right now it's in decision making (sic); if it's going to happen or not, because we have problem to fund the budget money. In a couple of weeks, maximum a month, we know, but I'm sorry to say, I'm not very optimistic."
