Sorry. SF geek here.

Thanks for the comments, I probably have not read the stories in 25 years. Seemed to me that at some point in their evolution the robots asserted their independence but I stand corrected. BTW, never saw the movie, I don't believe in watching most movies made from books that I enjoyed. The Lord of the Rings movies and the Harry Potter movies are notable exceptions.
