Context
Autonomous Robot exists when it is off on its own path, like a robot taxi that has dropped off a client and heads to a recharge station.
In Fiction
In Robots and Empire, Daneel and Giskard decide that humanity must evolve without robotic dependence.
They subtly influence history to remove robots from public life, especially on Trantor.
This sets the stage for the Foundation, where psychohistory—not robotics—guides civilization.
