Curta história utópica onde robôs "salvam" a humanidade

6
Estou procurando uma pequena história sobre um cientista que inventa robôs auto-replicantes com um único objetivo - salvar a humanidade (em outras palavras, impedir que os humanos se matem); mas esta condição simples leva a um mundo onde qualquer tipo de violência (também assassinato / suicídio) é impossível e toda pessoa vive sob vigilância constante.

Foi curto (acho que 10-20 páginas) e fazia parte de alguma coleção.

Obrigado pela ajuda

Provavelmente as Mãos Dobradas de Jack Williamson, que foram expandidas para um romance, Os Humanóides .

De Wikipedia :

Despite the Humanoids' benign appearance and mission, Underhill soon realizes that, in the name of their Prime Directive, the mechanicals have essentially taken over every aspect of human life. No humans may engage in any behavior that might endanger them, and every human action is carefully scrutinized. Suicide is prohibited. Humans who resist the Prime Directive are taken away and lobotomized, so that they may live happily under the direction of the humanoids.

A versão curta foi frequentemente antologada.

Não combina com a descrição "utópica", mas isso me lembra o " Watchbird ", onde os cientistas desenvolvem uma criatura parecida com um pássaro autônoma que aprende com o propósito de prevenir assassinatos. Os pássaros detectam certas mudanças hormonais e comportamentais para serem capazes de capturar pessoas antes de cometerem assassinatos, e dão ao provável criminoso um strong choque. Claro, as coisas vão mal.

The birds expand their definition of murder to include harm of another human being, then any animals, plants, machines... then they decide it's OK to murder humans who are "murdering" these beings, such as cutting the grass or turning off a car. At the end of the story, a newer, more fierce predator, has been introduced to kill the watchbirds while the engineer in charge points out they'll need something even worse to stop them...

"Watchbird" apareceu originalmente no Galaxy Fiction, mas foi lançado em muitas antologias .

A história é " Men are Different " de Alan Bloch

The science fiction short story “Men are different“ by Alan Bloch is about a society of robots in which humans are treated like something special and ordinary.
The humans travel through the galaxy and while stopping they leave colonies against their return. Those days went by and the only thing which remained is the idea of a divine culture.
The archives say that human beings are the same as robots. The are build out of the same structure and even the skeleton is made the same way but only out of different materials.
One day a robot rescues a human out of loneliness and treats him like a friend. The robot teaches him language and takes him to his home. Once the human complains of heat the robot controls the temperature and turns the human off, which causes many troubles because of the fact that human beings cant be restarted like machines.
