  Encyclopedia Galactica - Introduction to Robots
Sometimes through the talents of two investigators (Michael Donovan and Gregory Powell) and sometimes of a robopsychologist (Susan Calvin) the apparent misbehavior of robots is pinpointed, cataloged, and filed as a result of analyzing their behavior against the behavior as predicted by the three laws of robotics which Asimov so cleverly constructed.
When the investigations would run into particular difficulty the robopsychologist of U. Robots and Mechanical Men would be called in.

Upon their publication in this collection, Asimov wrote a framing sequence presenting the stories as Calvin's reminiscences during an interview with her about her life's work, chiefly concerned with aberrant behaviour of robots, and the use of 'robopsychology' to sort them out.
