In fact, Mr. Asimov is credited by the Oxford English Dictionary, with the creation of 3 words:

'Positronic'
'Psychohistory' - which has a different meaning then that given in the Foundation series.
'Robotics'

This information comes from the "Yours, Isaac Asimov: A Lifetime of Letters".

Personally, with regards to movies, I'm hoping to see the "I, Robot" movie done. The script, written by Harlan Ellison, is pretty good.
