Looking for the name of a short story. Farm equipment & construction robots, post apocalyptic
This was a short story in one the readers we had in grade school. Gist of it was that humans had semi sentient robots for almost all tasks, but humanity has died out and the robots are looking for purpose. The robots leave a city and go out to do whatever. Some get damaged and left behind, they find some other damaged/dead robots in their travels. I remember one of their members keeps mentioning that it has a supply of fissionable materials. Story ends when they come upon a group of starving humans who orders them to get them food, and robots are right back to their original tasks.
