La question a été posé par le site Sci-Fi Wire (décidément spécialiste de ce genre de questions) à plusieurs auteurs.
Parmi les réponses, celle de Mike Resnick :
"The single most memorable robot:
* Jenkins, from Cliff Simak's City. Simak made you care for Jenkins at a time when Asimov was creating scores of robots that only Susan Calvin cared about.
Others:
* Joe, from Henry Kuttner's "Robots Have No Tail". Kuttner was another writer who had no interest in the Three Laws, and created a charming robot.
* Roderick, from John Sladek's Roderick and Roderick at Random. Roderick was a perfect vehicle for Sladek's sardonic commentary.
* Adam Link, from Eando Binder's I, Robot (sic) and others; he'sthe missing link between clanking metallic monsters and positronic robots.
* Sisto Settimo, from Robert Silverberg's "Good News From the Vatican". He's only onstage for one paragraph, but the notion of a robot pope is as memorable as they come.
And if I can suggest three totally non-Asimovian robots that made major ballots:
* Sammy, from my "Robots Don't Cry".
* Jackson, from my "Article of Faith".
* Mose, from my and Lezli Robyn's "Soulmates". "

Lui, je le place en numéro 2.
