A Robotist is scientist specializing in the field of robotics in Isaac Asimov's Robot series.
Description[]
A robotist is a highly specialized professional focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of robots and their positronic brains. Their work requires deep knowledge of advanced mathematics, electronics, and the fundamental principles governing robotic behavior, particularly the immutable Three Laws of Robotics.
The most renowned experts in this field, such as Dr. Anthony Gerrigel, can perform sophisticated diagnostic analyses of robotic function, even using field techniques to verify the integrity of a robot's core ethical programming. The field originated on Earth but reached its highest development in the Outer Worlds, where roboticists like Han Fastolfe on Aurora pioneered increasingly advanced humaniform robots. The profession carries immense responsibility, as the stability of a roboticized society depends on the absolute adherence of positronic brains to their foundational laws.
