In Cal, the short story from Asimov's final collection Gold, the robot is set to break the 3 Laws in order to survive - by killing a human being without remorse. It figures that other humans won't believe it was the killer, due to the 3 Laws!
What made Asimov's robotic stories so good for me was how he set the laws up, then showed how they could be bent, and in extreme cases broken. He alone knew their weaknesses.
