	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.
		The final four robot novels compose the Elijah Baley (sometimes Lije Baley) series and are mysteries starring the Terran human Elijah Baley and his humaniform robot partner, R.
		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.

		In Robots of Dawn we are faced with the horrors of a roboticide.
		Robots don't need to take things all that seriously - they can be absolutely courageous in life, as they know no fear of pain or death, because there is no pain or death (for them).
		A robot must act in the long-range interest of humanity as a whole,and may overrule all other laws whenever it seems necesary for that ultimate goal.

		Asimov's Robots of Dawn is a detective story with an SF twist, mixing a traditional detective mystery with SF traditions on a world where robots exist along with humans in a curious master/slave relationship.
		The original pioneers into space have become spoiled by their reliance on their robots and no longer have the spirit of adventure necessary to continue further exploration, and yet they are fearful of the idea of generally despised Earth people colonizing planets.
		After 'Robots of Dawn' you will not be able to resist its sequel 'Robots and Empire' which is even better and finalises the early part of Asimovs 'history of the future'.

		Additionally, spacers use robots to do much of their work (since their planets have remained sparsely populated due to rigid population control measures) and earthlings are decidedly anti-robot since they take valuable jobs away from people.
		They are that robots can't harm people, they have to do what people say, and they should protect themselves, in that order of priority.
		Once this has been established in the first novel on earth, where robots are hated, we spend the second and third novels on worlds where robots are a part of everyday life - on the second people only interact one-on-one with robots and never with people, on the third there is a more even balance.

		its about robots taking over the world (which isn't anything like the book is about) then i read 'robots of dawn' halfway into robots of dawn i figured out the book was a series and chronological order and i read it out of order.
		For the Robot novels there was the Caves of Steel and the Naked Sun, again both published in the 50's.
		I, Robot is just a collection of Robot short storys where he likes to play around with the 3 laws of Robotics a lot.

		His robot stories — many of which were collected in I, Robot (1950) — were begun at about the same time.
		They promulgated a set of rules of ethics for robots (see Three Laws of Robotics) and intelligent machines that greatly influenced other writers and thinkers in their treatment of the subject.
		Later, in Robots and Empire, a robot develops what he calls the Zeroth Law of Robotics, which states that "A robot may not injure humanity, nor, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm".

	The Robots of Dawn
		In order to reuse as much as possible the code that we have already built for robots in one section, and the client-server architecture of another section, we will use functors and inheritance of classes at the same time.
		A robot is identified by its name and by its position; the world is determined by its size and by the robots that live in it.
		If the connection with a robot is lost---that is, if an exception is raised while waiting for a request---the robot is considered to have terminated and its departure is signaled to the observers.

		Robots of Dawn is a great text adventure based very closely on Isaac Asimov's celebrated sci-fi novel of the same name.
		Robots of Dawn plays like classic Infocom text adventures you are familiar with.
		But even so, Robots of Dawn is a lot of fun to play and finish - mostly because the writing is very faithful to the spirit of Asimov's novel, and the puzzles are logical and not farfetched.

		Robots of Dawn is not quite as good as the first two robot novels, but well worth reading.
		Daneel Olivaw, the robot partner to detective Elijah Baley, is one of the most memorable characters in the field of speculative fiction.
		This was one of my favorite of the gazillion Empire, Robot, and Foundation books that were all tied together (rather oddly, since they were written completely separately, but with fun twists) by Asimov toward the end of his life.

		Isaac Asimov presents us with the third book in the "Robot" series in the shape of "The Robots of Dawn".
		Daneel Olivaw is of course once again along for the ride, along with the seemingly simple (non human looking) R. Giskard, as Baley fights against time to crack the case of the "murder" of a humaniform robot and perhaps uncover a far greater conspiracy among the Spacers.
		When I finished The Robots of Dawn I was shocked at how it was possible for Asimov to surpass the first two books of the series and at the same time not rehash an old theme.

		The second book in Asimov's famous Robots trilogy, The Robots of Dawn was written in the 1970's, many years after Asimov penned the first one, I Robot.
		In this he was ahead of his time too, since in the 70's the sexual revolution was still going strong and the relative conservatism of the 80's and 90's had yet to visit us.
		Robots of Dawn, however, supposedly takes place during one of the more radical times and so there is a good deal of concentration of sex, perhaps a bit too much, as if Asimov is trying to overcompensate for his earlier book and try to look more hip and modern.

		For the first time, the relationship of robots with humans when it comes to sexual intercourse is explored, and how the three laws of robotics handle it.
		When Asimov first began writing his robot stories in the 40's, the concept itself was relatively new and bold - and, to many, unthinkable.
		Of course, when this book finally came out, in 1983, robots were no longer a novelty - and the dictations of their behavior had, by then, moved beyond Asimov's original fundamental Three Laws of Robotics.

		In the movie, the robots run amok and become dangerous monsters despite (or is it because of?) the Three Laws.
		The Three Laws and the behavior of robots that resulted from their use became an implicit aspect of numerous science fiction stories that followed Asimov's popular positronic robot series.
		Baley is not alone in his feelings about robots; robots on Earth are blamed for stealing jobs and causing unemployment.

		His first bestseller was the book "I, Robot", which is included here because some say it is necessary as background to the robot mysteries.
		he 'Three Laws of Robotics' devised by Asimov before robots even existed may be the longest-lasting legacy from any sci-fi author, in that these laws are embedded in the science and design of robots in the XXIst Century and will likely remain significant as long as robots are built.
		A robot may not injure a human being, or, thru inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

	Review of THE ROBOTS OF DAWN by Isaac Asimov
		Police Investigator Lije Baley has solved several mysteries with his robot partner and friend R. Daneel Olivaw, but now he is presented with an impossible situation--and a situation that Earth's and humanity's survival depends upon.
		A human-formed robot has been 'killed,' yet the only man with the capacity to destroy the robot in this way is the man whose efforts may save Earth.
		I was amused by the way Asimov's robots skillfully input data into the computer system--surely any robot sophisticated enough to be self-aware would be able to input data directly (e.g., through a wireless, wired, or infra-red link) rather than requiring digital manipulation.

		This "Robot Trilogy" is set two thousand years into the future; well after his "I, Robot" short stories which precede it and set up the now-universal Laws of Robotics, and before Asimov's 'Empire' novels.
		The unique aspects of these novels are their off-world settings and robot characters; the robots must obey the three laws of robotics, the first being that a robot cannot harm a human, or through inaction, allow a human to be harmed.
		(Asimov began his robot novels with the collection of short stories entitled "I, Robot" which was set in the years 2010 to 2050 roughly and presented for the first time the Three Laws of Robotics.
