Isaac Asimov as part of his Robot series wrote 5 stories about detective Elijah Baley and his robot partner R. Daneel Olivaw. There were 4 novels and one short story in that arc from 1954 to 1985. Admittedly the first books were written at a time when a lot of SF had characters with extremely limited emotional range.
The Caves of Steel
The Naked Sun
"Mirror Image" SS
The Robots of Dawn
Robots and Empire
There were several other robot detective novels but Asimov's are the only ones from that era that I have found worth re-reading.
One of Asimov's short stories that I liked but which John W. Campbell rejected with the chemical formula for butyl mercaptan was Victory Unintentional.
