A short story, but it depends on what you mean. Isaac Asimov wrote a story about a robot named Robbie, and it was a short story. The short story was included in a collection that the publisher called I, Robot (even though Isaac Asimov didn't agree with the title, since there was already a Sci Fi short story with that name that Asimov had read). Isaac Asimov's story, originally called Robbie, was expanded and published under a couple of different names after that, and the ideas behind the story were expanded into several novels in Asimov's robot series. I robot is a collection of nine short stories woven together as if a single narrator is telling the stories to a newspaper report.

Where does the word robot come from?
