Asimov’s Robot Laws + 1: protect the dog.
When finch issues those instructions, and then learns that there’s a massive storm coming and they don’t have supplies to survive it where they are, my first thought (and what might have been a good horror movie) is that he is forced to eat the dog which causes the robot to go haywire (as per most of the I, Robot stories) and the rest of the movie is finch vs his creation in a bunker…. This is not that movie
This is Castaway with robots and a dog. The cast for finch is actually smaller than castaway. Perfect for filming during COVID lockdown.
The robot “becoming” story has a Chappie/Short Circuit feel. I don’t know if it was written that way, or it’s just a trope.

PS: “Dewey” (drone 1) was the maintenance robot in Silent Running left to manage the forests after Freeman Lowell blows himself and Huey (drone 2) up.
