First published in Infinity Science Fiction (January 1958 issue), by Isaac Asimov, this is another Susan Calvin Short Story, and features a robot that is capable of breaking the First Law of Robotics.During a tour of United States Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation, a visitor plays with the computer and ruins the program for the prototype LNE model. The three company experts, Peter Bogert (Senior Mathematician), Alfred Lanning (Research Director), and Susan Calvin (Robopsychologist) discuss the matter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bogert and Lanning want to dismantle the useless construct, but Dr. Calvin decides that she needs to run tests on the robot, and takes the prototype to her personal laboratory. Despite her insistence that there is something to be learned from the broken Lenny prototype, the otters don't believe her, and things come to a head when it breaks the arm of another employee."Lenny" has been republished several times; The Expert Dreamers (1962), Dodici Volte Domani (1964), The Rest of the Robots (1964), Androids Time Machines And Blue Giraffes (1973), Visions Of Tomorrow (1976), The Complete Robot (1982), Robot Visions Collection (1990), and The Complete Stories, Volume 2 (1992). | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Due to a visitor playing around with the computer responsible for programming positronic brains, the titular LNE model ended up with a ruined positronic brain, unable to properly process even the most basic parts of its programming, the Three Laws of Robotics. | |

| Lenny / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Dr. Susan Calvin is the only robopsychologist at United States Robots and Mechanical Men Corporation, and Director Lanning would love to fire her, due to perceived transgressions such as her decision to investigate and experiment on a robot that is so broken it cannot perform any work. However, he acknowledges that she is too valuable to fire, as she has personally saved the company millions of dollars. | |
