Runaround

Book • 1942
In 'Runaround', Asimov explores the conflicts that arise when a robot, Speedy, is unable to reconcile the Second and Third Laws of Robotics.

Set on Mercury in 2015, the story follows engineers Gregory Powell and Mike Donovan as they try to resolve Speedy's dilemma, which threatens their survival.

The tale is notable for its explicit introduction of the Three Laws of Robotics, a central theme in Asimov's robot series.
