Charles Stross' Saturn's Children and Neptune's Brood has robots with minds based on humans as humanity's successor.
David Moffitt's Genesis Quest and Second Genesis has specs for humans sent out by radio and recreated by aliens.
James Hogan's Voyage from Yesteryear has a probe which has humans recreated on another planet and raised by robots.
