Abstract of the second Chapter from "I, ROBOT".

"I, ROBOT" is a book written by Isaac Asimov in 1950. It tells a story about robotics and in this second chapter it tells the story of "Speedy", a robot made for the planet Mercury.

In 2015 there is an energy business that has its base in the nearest planet to the sun. There was working The workers on this base included two astronauts, Speedy and some robots left from the first expedition (the expedition who did build which built the base a few years ago).

Speedy's tasks were to keep the base alive by bringing some material from a kind of mine located 8 miles distant from the base. This material was the source of energy for this place. Without it, all the engines would stop working, and the refrigeration system with it. So the consequences if, for some reason, Speedy doesn't come back from the mine would be catastrophic. And that's exactly what it happens.

The two astronauts, Powell and Donovan, noticed that Speedy's return come back is taking too long, so they check the map with the Speedy's journey marked on it and there they see that there is a thick line drawing a circle around the location of the mine.

After a long dramatic search (?busqueda?) made by the two astronauts, they find that the reason is that was because of the two last laws of robotics. Namely:

Law 2: A robot must obey a human being, unless this goes against the first law.
Law 3: A robot must save itself, unless this goes against the first and second laws.

Speedy had detected a danger in the mine, but he was ordered to go in to get the material. The result was Speedy running in circles around the mine.

In order to save the situation, the astronauts decide to force the law one: A robot cannot harm a human being (and it must save it if it's in danger). In the end , one of the astronauts steps out looking for Speedy wearing a spacesuit which could keep him alive for only 20 minutes. He falls down near the robot, and it saves him from dying.  (maybe: which saves the robot from dying?)


Excellent job.  Your English gets better and better each time you write somethng.

Abstract of the second chapter from of "I, ROBOT".

"I, ROBOT" is a book written by Isaac Asimov in 1950. It tells a history is a book about robotics robots, and in this the second chapter it tells the history story of "Speedy", a robot made for Mercury.
source of energy
In 2015 there is an energetic energy business that has its based in on the nearest planet to the Sun. There was working two astronauts Two astronauts are working there, Speedy and some robots left behind from the first expedition (the base was built following the first expedition who did build the base a few years ago).

Speedy's tasks was to keep the base alive, bringing some material from a kind of mine located 8 miles distance from the base. This material was the energy source  of this the place. Without it all the engines would stop working, and the refrigeration system too with it. The consequences if, for some reason Speedy doesn't come back did not return from the mine would be catastrophic. And (You shouldn't really begin sentences with and, it is a bad habit that some native speakers also have) that is exactly what it happens.

The two astronauts, Powell and Donovan, noticed that Speedy's come back return is taking too long. They check the map with the Speedy's journey marked on it and there they see that there is a thick line drawing a circle around the location of the mine.

After a long, dramatic research investigation made by the two astronauts, they find that the reason for this is due to of that was because  the two last two laws of robotics. Namely:

Law 2: A robot must obey a human being, unless this goes against the first law.
Law 3: A robot must save itself, unless this goes against the first and second laws.

Speedy had detected a danger in the mine, but he had been was ordered to go in to get the material. So the result was Speedy ended up running in circles around the mine.

In order to end this problem save the situation the astronauts decided to invoke the first law of robotics force the law one: A robot cannot harm a human being (and it must save it if it is in danger). At the end one of the astronauts steps out looking for Speedy, wearing a spacesuit which could that can keep him alive for 20 minutes. He falls down near the robot and it saves him from dying die.

Copy that! I didn't know Asimov before read "I, Robot" but now I'm loving his stories so much. Thanks for the recommendation! =)

Asimov is awesome. You gotta read "The Gods Themselves" and "The Complete Robot" (it has the same tales that "I, Robot" and a lot of other more). BTW, you wrote a good abstract! :)
