* This story, published in March 1942, is the first known use of the word "robotics".
* This story, published in March 1942, is the first time the [[ThreeLawsCompliant three Rules of Robotics]] appeared in print.
* ScienceMarchesOn: When Dr Asimov wrote "Runaround" in 1942, it was accepted scientific fact that {{UsefulNotes/Mercury}} was tidally locked with the sun. Since the 1960s, astronomers determined that Mercury actually rotates 3 times per 2 local years (176 earth days from sunrise to sunset).
