The library called me last night to infrom me that my request of "ROBOTA", came in. So of course I was estatic, practically ran there. Now my question is, The cover says ," By: Doug Chiang and Orson Scott Card." Tehn when you look inside it says story and illustration by: Doug Chiang. Text by: Orson Scott card. [Confused]

What does this mean? did Doug Chiang come up the the story line and then Osc wrote it, or what is going on?

From what I understand, that's exactly what happened. This is primarily Doug Chiang's baby. Chiang did all the wonderful illustrations to tell his story, and OSC put it into words in the way that only OSC can.

That's my understanding as well.
