Heinlein's Moon is a Harsh Mistress... Thomas J. Ryan's The Adolescence of

There are some stories that deal with a computer as a character in the story,
but in the case of the latter 2 above, it's the programming (software) within
the computer that is the antagonist. Programming can sometimes be
non-platform specific, whereas some are limited by their hardware (in terms
of the storytelling).
Do robot and automaton characters qualify as "computers in SF"?
