Read the short story "Runaround" from I, Robot. Then write an essay answering the question below. I expect approximately 3-4 pages. Your essay may be shorter or longer as you see fit, as long as you answer the question fully.

The robot sent to fetch the selenium is not working according to its programming, as far as Donovan and Powell can tell. Carefully consider how they go about figuring out why the robot is malfunctioning. Then consider two experiences you have had this semester in which you had to find and fix errors in your own robot programs. Write a description of each of these episodes. Then compare and contrast the process through which Donovan and Powell found errors in their robot's programming with the process you used in these two episodes of your own.
