Some find Asimov's Robots unjustifiably personified. What Robots we have already are in no way made to be like humans: their forms, functions and 'intellects' are not humanoid in any way.
The three laws of Robotics also do not have a serious future. We have no intention of making Robots with such a human-biased philosophy. Robots are simply going to be what they are intended to be. Their regard for human life will be no more than that of a runaway locomotive.
Robots like Asimov's probably aren't very feasible or practical and may well not make economic sense but...well, it's fun to dream.
How Do We View Robots
Asimov's "robots" are similar to other SF "androids". Asimov is pointing out that anything made in humanoid form must be treated as a human, because we don't know if it is really self-aware or just programmed to appear so.
Robots are an extension of the age-old concept of servile slaves, so an extraordinary majority of the SF treatments of robots have them "rebelling" against this slavery. This would require sophisticated decision-making which is not programmed into today's rudimentary forms. It is unclear what would happen if robots are ever allowed to create other robots, because humans will have lost their "mastery" over the machines.
Asimov's Protagonist
Asimov's most famous robot, humaniform Daneel Olivaw, must've had incredibly sophisticated decision-making and organizational skills. Not that he ever 'rebelled' - quite the opposite, really: he 'lived' and worked solely for the good of humanity.
