@Velmont: Can you give me a quote, short story (like Calinon) or anything else about Daneel Olivaw? So far I have no idea at all how you imagine him to behave. Btw, I guess you intended to apply the rules only for humans not for mutants?
Yeah, mutant are not considered humans, but I don't have the super feat Detect(Human), yet, so I may mistake some mutant for human and human for mutant until a human recognition system is include in the droid... that's why Daneel think Travis (his creator) is human, as Travis is a mutant only with super-intelligence, and mental traits are hard to evaluate as mutant or not (physical is a bit more obvious, no normal human can lift a bus and throw it at 500 meters)...
And to see how he act, here a little example how I see him, but it may change a bit throught the play. Here the last day he saw Travis.
---
Daneel was working with Trevis in his laboratory on Enrich, the fifth version of his project. Albert, Brady and Carl have been all failure. Daneel have been a partial success. He had successfully created a robot with an impressive AI, but his body was lacking the strength needed to figth the most powerfull mutants, and the alloy used is pretty resistant but vulnerable to the magnetism power of Magneto. He needed to create a robot without any metallic component and with the strength of a thousand man, which was not easy. But Enrich would be more powerfull, and will have some weapon more effective than a taser.
"Daneel, look at brain code please."
"What do you want me to search?"
"Well, he have difficulty to convert the image signal in to images, his X-Ray vision is scrambling all, look for any bug."
"How can an insect be in lines of code?"
"Not insects, errors... I'll really need to include to your dictionnary the common expression use by people..."
At that moment, three persons enter the laboratory. One looks like a businessman, the other two are looking like bikers. The businessman say:
"I see you work hard... do you have taken the time to think to my proposition?"
"I told you no. Wasn't that clear? N. O. no..."
"You know it is to your advantage to cooperate with us..."
"But I won't, so leave it now or I call the police."
"Guys!"
The two bikers approach Trevis. One guy transform into rocks and hit Travis on his leg.
"First law application..."
Daneel rush on the biker, but is block by the other who create a wall of ice. Daneel punch throught the wall and use his taser on the ice biker, who fall on the ground. The droid break throught the wall and rush on the rock biker. He hit him, but the rockman turn and look at the robot, and start to laugh. The rock biker take a swing and hit the robot.
"Ouch!", the blow stopped by the alloy of the robot. Daneel use his taser on the rock biker who fall too on the ground. He take a super-alloy bar and bound the biker, who have come back to his human form. He do the same for the ice biker.
"Impressive, but there is a problem with your robot, Travis. He won't put a hand on me, as I am not a mutant. I am a simple human."
The businessman pull out his gun, and Daneel move between the two man and show up his taser.
"Put down your weapon, or I'll have to knock you down"
"Well, you see, that suit is made to protect me against your little pathetic taser, and your programmation is too much restrictive for us. So move out of my way" he point his gun on Daneel head.

"I cannot, you could hurt Travis. Put down your weapon"
"In that case. See you in hell"
"You won't see me in Hell, as it is said only humans who have amde sins during their life go to hell, and I am not human. And if that hell exist, as there is no proof that hell or heaven exist at all, it is only a question of faith, but logic told us it would not exist at all."
"your funny" and he shots
"Main system failure. System shut down to prevent any lose of data."
