• The headquarters of "NorthAm Robotics" is actually the headquarters of "Oracle Corporation" in the USA.
• Andrew the robot's number is NDR-114. This reveals a connection to Stanley Kubrick, who repeatedly used this number in his films (for example, 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971), 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb' (1963)). In Asimov's story, robot Andrew 'did not remember' his number.
• The three rules that Andrew follows are the "Three Laws of Robotics" formulated by Isaac Asimov, which are very popular in science fiction.
• The vehicle driven by Ma'am was previously used in the film "Demolition Man" (1993).
• The name "Galatea" for the film's heroine was chosen deliberately. In ancient mythology, Galatea is a statue brought to life, sculpted by Pygmalion.
• The film is based on the novel "The Positronic Man" by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg, and Asimov's novella "The Bicentennial Man".
