The 1989 anthology ''[[Foundation's Friends]]'' included the positronic robot stories "Balance" by [[Mike Resnick]], "Blot" by [[Hal Clement]], "PAPPI" by [[Sheila Finch]], "[[Plato's Cave]]" by [[Poul Anderson]], "[[The Fourth Law of Robotics]]" by [[Harry Harrison (writer)|Harry Harrison]] and "Carhunters of the Concrete Prairie" by [[Robert Sheckley]]. Not all of these stories are entirely consistent with the Asimov stories. The anthology also included "Strip-Runner" by [[Pamela Sargent]], set in the era of the Elijah Baley novels.

Shortly before his death in 1992, Asimov approved an outline for three novels (''[[Isaac Asimov's Caliban|Caliban]]'', ''[[Isaac Asimov's Inferno|Inferno]]'', ''[[Isaac Asimov's Utopia|Utopia]]'') by [[Roger MacBride Allen]], set between ''Robots and Empire'' and the [[Galactic Empire series|''Empire'' series]], telling the story of the [[terraforming]] of the Spacer world Inferno, and about the robot revolution started by creating "No Law Robots" and then "New Law Robots."

There is also another set of novels by various authors (Isaac Asimov's ''Robot City'', ''[[Isaac Asimov's Robots and Aliens|Robots and Aliens]]'' and ''[[Isaac Asimov's Robots in Time|Robots in Time]]'' series), which are not generally considered [[canon (fiction)|canon]]. They are loosely connected to the Robots series, but they contain many inconsistencies with Asimov's books.

The Asimov estate authorized the publication of another trilogy of robot mysteries by [[Mark W. Tiedemann]]. These novels, which take place several years before Asimov's ''Robots and Empire'', are ''Mirage'' (2000), ''Chimera'' (2001), and ''Aurora'' (2002). These were followed by yet another robot mystery, [[Alexander C. Irvine]]'s ''Have Robot, Will Travel'' (2004), set five years after the Tiedemann trilogy.

In November 2009, the Asimov estate announced the upcoming publication of ''Robots and Chaos'', the first volume in a trilogy featuring Susan Calvin by fantasy author [[Mickey Zucker Reichert]].<ref>{{cite web|author=10/26/09 11:50am 10/26/09 11:50am |url=http://io9.com/5390043/meet-the-young-frisky-susan-calvin-in-i-robot-prequel-trilogy |title='''io9''', "Meet The Young, Frisky Susan Calvin, In "I, Robot" Prequel Trilogy |date=26 October 2009 |publisher=Io9.com |access-date=2013-11-27}}</ref> The book was published in November 2011 under the title ''I, Robot: To Protect'', and was later followed by two sequels: ''I, Robot: To Obey'' (2013) and ''I, Robot: To Preserve'' (2016).
