| | Robot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!" (1941). | | | Probably the best known author to work in this area is Isaac Asimov who has placed robots and their interaction with society at the center of many of his works. | | | Of particular interest are Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. |

| | However, these robots may just as much be slaves to paradise as the humans are slaves to labor, as revealed in Escape from Cluster Prime. | | | Vexus claims that the Cluster is a place where robots live in peace, for she feels that the robots of the universe have suffered "discrimination" and "unequal treatment" by humans. | | | The Cluster is a society of robots controlled by Queen Vexus in a manner similar to (and probably inspired by) the Borg of Star Trek. |

| | It claims to be a 'how to' book on writing robots, but my impression is that it is nothing more than a collection of chapters, written by various people involved in this area and subsequently bound together. | | | Robots are operated by humans, who make mistakes in configuration, or simply don't consider the implications of their actions. | | | If you think you have discovered a new robot (ie one that is not listed on the list of active robots, and it does more than sporadic visits, drop me a line so I can make a note of it for future reference. |

| | This time it's a robot that wants to present us with info, but instead of merely reading text off of an RSS feed or blaring a few music streams, the ITR bot works with its very own "RTML" language to present media with motion, voice, and emotion. | | | We were just waiting for robots to start reproducing before we gave over the future of humanity to these beings, and while this might be a mere simulated pregnancy for med students to practice on, it seems close enough to us. | | | The robot, named Noelle, is a life-sized blond mannequin that costs $20,000 and simulates the pertinent vital signs and exports of a pregnant woman, including blood, urine and a baby. |

| | Robot Visions is actually the better of the two, showing a little more variety in the stories and a little more creativity (as if you could imagine Isaac Asimov being anything but creative). | | | Six of the stories also appear in the collection "I, Robot." The stories were written over a wide range of time, from 1940 to 1989, and they reflect the character of their times. | | | This is a companion book to "Robot Dreams," but unlike that book, all the stories in "Robot Visions" are actually about robots. |

| | Summer 2004 Fiction Reviews |
| | Both are, ostensibly, collections of Asimov's justly famous robot stories, but that's not all. | | | Essays: "Robots I Have Known", "The New Teachers", "Whatever You Wish", "The Friends We Make", "Our Intelligent Tools", "The Laws of Robotics", "Future Fantastic", "The Machine and the Robot", "The New Profession", "The Robot as Enemy?", "Intelligences Together", "My Robots", "The Laws of Humanics", "Cybernetic Organism", "The Sense of Humor", and "Robots in Combination". | | | Dreams first appeared in 1986, and contains stories which first appeared between 1947 and 1986; Visions in 1990 (with stories and essays from the period 1940-1989), so it's entirely possible that you already have these collections, but if your copies are as dog-eared as mine, these will make good replacements. |
