Daneel is a robot built by Spacers from planet Aurora. Unlike many robots of the period, Daneel is constructed to be virtually indistinguishable from a human being (see: android). This "undercover" attribute enables him to help earth-policeman Elijah Baley solve crimes. Daneel and Baley first meet while Baley is investigating the murder of Roj Nemennuh Sarton, the human to whom Daneel is identical in appearance.
Daneel and Baley work together on a murder case on Spacer planet Solaria, as well as on the case of the "roboticide" of Daneel's "brother", Jander Panell. Also on Aurora, he first meets R. Giskard Reventlov, a robot with unique telepathicTelepathy from the Greek , tele "distant", and , patheia "feeling", is the supposed ability to communicate information from one mind to another, and is one form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition. This information is generally reported as powers. Giskard invents the Zeroth Law of RoboticsIn science fiction, the Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three laws written by Isaac Asimov, which most robots appearing in his fiction have to obey. They state that: # A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to co after both robots come to see the incompleteness of the existing Laws of RoboticsIn science fiction, the Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three laws written by Isaac Asimov, which most robots appearing in his fiction have to obey. They state that: # A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to co. The Zeroth Law proves destructive to Giskard's positronic brain when he attempts to act upon it, as he violated the First Law in doing so and thus brought on a life-threatening "moral" conflict. Giskard bestows his abilities to Daneel, who over the course of 20,000 years adapts himself to be able to fully obey the Zeroth Law without the risk of shutdown.
For that time onward, Daneel manipulates the galaxy with the help of his many robot allies. He sets up both the Galactic EmpireIn Isaac Asimov's Robot/ Empire/ Foundation series of novels, the Galactic Empire is an empire consisting of planets settled by humans across the whole galaxy. It is clearly based on the Roman Empire. The Galactic Empire consists of 25 million inhabited w and GaiaGaia is a fictional planet described in the book Foundation's Edge by Isaac Asimov. The name is derived from Gaia theory, which is itself eponymous to Gaia, the Earth Goddess. Gaia is located in the Sayshell Sector, about 10 parsecs (32 light years) from in order to create a society that does not need robots. Under the guise of Eto Demerzel, he becomes the first minister to galactic Emperor Cleon IIn the fictional universe of The Foundation Series, Cleon I (11,988 GE 12,038 GE) was the Emperor of the Galactic Empire when Hari Seldon first arrived on Trantor. He became Emperor following the death of his father, Stanel VI, who was fortunate enough to.
When Hari SeldonHari Seldon is the intellectual hero of Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series. In his capacity as mathematics professor at Streeling University on Trantor, he developed psychohistory, allowing him to predict the future in probabilistic terms. In the first five first comes to Trantor, R. Daneel Olivaw, under the guise of reporter Chetter Hummin (a play on word "human"), convinces Hari that the galactic empire is dying and that psychohistoryPsychohistory is the name of a fictional science in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe, which combined history, psychology and mathematical statistics to create a (nearly) exact science of the behavior of very large populations of people, such as the Gala must be developed into a practical science in order to save it. As Hummin, he convinces Seldon that Cleon's first minister Eto Demerzel is pursuing him and that it is imperative for Hari to escape and to try making psychohistory practical. He introduces Hari to Dors Venabili, who becomes Hari's friend, protector, and future wife. At the end of Seldon's "Flight" it is revealed that Hummin and Demerzel are actually the same person, and are both false identities of R. Daneel Olivaw. Demerzel appears again briefly in the epilogue to Forward the Foundation, which says he was one of the few in attendance at Hari Seldon's funeral.
R. Daneel Olivaw appeares once more in Foundation and Earth, where Golan Trevize and Janov Pelorat from the Foundation eventually find the radioactive Earth, and Daneel's base on the moon, and learn about his paternalistic manipulations, including causing of the settlement of Alpha Centauri, the creation of Gaia , and psychohistory. Ultimately, Daneel convinces Trevize that the creation of Galaxia is the correct choice.
Isaac Asimov said that the reason Daneel appeared so often in his books was that his readers and publishers begged it of him.
