The following chapter, 'The Laws of Robotics', included stories that were written after the explicit formulation of the three laws, however both stories include elements that place them outside the Foundation universe. The first chapter, 'The Coming of the Robots', included some of Asimov's earliest robot stories, where the Three Laws of Robotics were not yet explicitly defined. The texts in the collection were grouped into four chapters, differentiating their central themes. None of the short stories in this collection were in I, Robot, however all of them were later included in The Complete Robot, and both novels about Elijah Baley were also published separately. Another collection of short stories about robots, I, Robot, was re-published in the previous year, which is why Asimov chose to title the collection as The Rest of the Robots. The stories, centred on positronic robots, are all part of the Robot series, most of which take place in the Foundation universe. Missing ones were either written after its publication, or formed the text connecting the stories in I, Robot.The Rest of the Robots is a collection of eight short stories and two full-length novels by American writer Isaac Asimov, published in 1964. This collection includes most of Asimov's robot short stories. That Thou Art Mindful of Him' robots are created with a very flexible Three Laws management, and these create little, simplified robots with no laws that actually act against the Three Laws of Robotics. No other kinds of robots are seen, and there is no mention of the Three Laws.

In 'Sally' there are positronic brain cars who can damage men or disobey without problems.

In 'Someday' there are non-positronic computers which tell stories and do not obey the Three Laws.'Let's Get Together' robots are used as parts of a bomb that will explode when they get together.Stories that are about Asimov's positronic robots that do not obey the Three Laws of Robotics are: Stories not involving the Three Laws of Robotics ' The Bicentennial Man' (1976), novelette.That Thou Art Mindful of Him' (1974), novelette ' Feminine Intuition' (1969), novelette.' The Evitable Conflict' (1950), novelette.' Stranger in Paradise' (1973–74), novelette.' True Love' (1977), also Multivac series.' Point of View' (1975), also Multivac series.' Someday' (1956), also Multivac series.They share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots and morality, and put together tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics. Most of the stories had been previously collected in the books I, Robot and The Rest of the Robots, while four had previously been uncollected and the rest had been scattered across five other anthologies. The Complete Robot (1982) is a collection of 31 of the 37 science fiction short stories about robots by American writer Isaac Asimov, written between 19.
