Satisfaction Guaranteed — Isaac Asimov

Satisfaction Guaranteed -- Isaac AsimovYou can find this in The Complete Robot.

The U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men corporation are finally allowed to carry out a secret trial of a humanoid robot on Earth, and one of their employees volunteers his wife so he can hopefully get a promotion.

And so the wife is left with a robot housekeeper/man-about-the-house for 10 days while the husband is away trying to impress his bosses for said promotion.   Once again, the “Three Laws of Robotics” throw up some interesting behaviour.

Another good story getting us used to the quirks of the “Three Laws of Robotics”.

Next up in the robot stories is Lenny.
