	Isaac Asimov's Robot Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The unique feature of Asimov's robots are the Three Laws of Robotics, hardwired in the robots' positronic brains, which all robots in his fiction must obey, and which ensure that robots don't turn against their creators.
		Rather than precursors of robots that may be made as derivatives of computers, Asimov's robots are actually what in philosophy are called homunculi, thought experiments on what sort of being would result from considering a human being and removing one or more of these characteristics.
		The Rest of the Robots (1964), collection of Asimov's robot stories written before 1964 that were not included in I, Robot, all of which were later also included in The Complete Robot.

	Robbie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1998, a primitive and mute RB series robot, named Robbie, is placed with the Weston family as a nursemaid for the daughter Gloria.
		Her mother, however, is not convinced that robots are safe and decides that they must take the robot back.
		The version published in the book I, Robot is slightly revised from the original text, and includes a brief paragraph which depicts the first appearance (in the stories' internal chronology) of Susan Calvin.

	The Complete Robot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Complete Robot is a collection of science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov written between 1940 and 1976, which were previously collected in books I, Robot, The Rest of the Robots, and other anthologies.
		Although working well enough as standalone stories, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots and morality, and put together tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics.
		Some of the stories found in this book definitely don't belong to the Robot Series, even though they are about Asimov's positronic robots who obey the Three Laws of Robotics.

	Review Price Save :: The Complete Robot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		But a quick cross-check of I, Robot's contents with this book's reveals that all 9 of the I, Robot stories are indeed included in The Complete Robot.
		Robot Dreams is actually a more generic compendium and has only three robot stories, the title story being unique to Robot Dreams.
		So The Complete Robot has all the I, Robot stories, and all the robot stories of Robot Dreams and Robot Visions excepting their respective title stories, which were newly written for those books and together with the fantastic artwork of Ralph McQuarrie probably justifies the purchase for collectors, completists and fans.

	Cornell News: self-replicating robots
		A robot consisting of a stack of four cubes begins by bending over and depositing one of its cubes on the table.
		Their robots are made up of a series of modular cubes -- called "molecubes" -- each containing identical machinery and the complete computer program for replication.
		Although these experimental robots work only in the limited laboratory environment, Lipson suggests that the idea of making self-replicating robots out of self-contained modules could be used to build working robots that could self-repair by replacing defective modules.

	Garnet Hertz: Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot (formerly "Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine")
		This project also strives to completely hand over the computational logic of the mobile robot to the insect system operator: this project will provide no "middleware" to obfuscate or sanitize the intentions of the insect.
		The robotic project is envisioned as being a demo-based and non-gallery device, akin to the strategy implemented by several "tactical media" projects.
		The ideal contexts for releasing this robot are small-to-medium scale gatherings (10 to 100 people) in which the mechanics, context and concept of the project can be explained on a personal, one-to-one basis.

		He may not have coined the term ROBOT but he certainly brought his scientific knowledge to bear on the theme and I think the positronic brain was his idea.

	Little Lost Robot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The answer is that it had had its First Law of Robotics modified, to read "No robot may injure a human being", i.e.
		Again, we explore the ambiguities of the English language, a technician who wanted a robot to leave told it to "Get lost", and the robot assumedthat the order meant that it should secret itself.
		The reason that the robot must be found is because people are still by and large scared of robots, and if theyfound one with a different First Law there would be an outcry, even though the robot is still incapable of harming a human.

	Review of "Little Lost Robot"
		A robot with a weakened First Law—prepared at government insistence—has escaped and hidden itself in a shipment of outwardly identical unmodified robots.
		(The fact that it was written in the late 1940’s helps, after some of the stories it precedes in I, Robot.) Calvin here is particularly interesting, because of her ability to handle and understand robots and because of her appreciation of what the Three Laws really mean.
		The tension is very real, too, as scheme after scheme meant to figure out which robot is which fails and the missing robot gets more and more dangerous.
