Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself.

When these stories and several others were compiled in the anthology I, Robot, " Reason " and " Robbie " were updated to acknowledge all the Three Laws, though the material Asimov added to " Reason " is not entirely consistent with the Three Laws as he described them elsewhere.

Asimov's stories test his Three Laws in a wide variety of circumstances leading to proposals and rejection of modifications.
