As in many of Asimov's Robot stories, conflicts in the application of the Three Laws of Robotics is the subject of the plot.In contrast to the majority of such stories, in which the lexical ambiguities of the Laws are employed to fashion a dilemma, the robot featured in "Runaround" is actually following the Laws as they were intended.

In 1942, author Isaac Asimov addressed regulation of algorithms by introducing the fictional Three Laws of Robotics: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
