In other robot stories Greg Powell and Mike Donovan, field specialists for the company, try to solve robot issues in the field.The modem manufacturer U.S. Robotics appears to have been named after this fictional corporation.
Under the name U.S. Robotics, this company is also featured in I, Robot, the 2004 Will Smith movie inspired by (but quite different from) Asimov's short story collection I, Robot.
