Do Asimov's three laws make a robot a Buddhist?

No, because a Buddhist need not obey any order given to it by a human regardless of whether or not it harms another human.

Animate being are created through Dependent Origination, Nutriment, etc. The Buddha's teaching is for such beings. The part is morality, concentration and wisdom. Even this laws may engrain morality I am not sure if concentration and wisdom can be developed by a robot. A robot may have memory of the teachings but cannot practice. So robot cannot become Buddhist by practice.
