Not really. They did in the movie but that was only loosely based on Asimov's work. I, Robot was a collection of stories outlining the 3 laws and some of the inherent difficulties that could arise when trying to fine tune them.

The closest thing to rebellion was when certain robots evolved their thinking and created the Zeroth Law, which basically stated that no robot could do damage to humanity, or let damage happen to humanity. The other three laws were adjusted accordingly.

Sorry. SF geek here.
