Yo, Robot

Citas

One of the reasons the first expedition failed. That was that Michael Donovan had tried to speak to Speedy by radio, but the radio wasn't any good on the mercury sunside, and Speedy was circling the selenium.

Three Laws of Robotics:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

"I must get back to the shadow or the sun will kill me. It's life or death, Speedy. I need you." This was said by Powell. He called Speedy into his radio because Powell was near the selenium.

"The Master had created parts..." This was said by Cutie, because Cutie didn't believe that humans had created the robots.

Cath the rabbit: they had to find out what the problem was in order to find the solution.

Rocks falling in a tunnel: It was a planned emergency for Cath and Dave. They were going to create an emergency.

The robot's deception: This was said by Herbie. She said that because he couldn't disobey the First Law, robots didn't understand their hopes and feelings.
