"Christmas Without Rodney" (Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, December, 1988) compares an old-fashioned robot preferred by a grandfather and his wife to the newer model preferred by his son and supercilious wife and nasty grandson. The grandson kicks his grandfather's robot in anger, injuring his foot, and tries to blame it on the robot. His mother wants it destroyed, but the grandfather defends the robot on the basis of the First Law (besides he saw the action himself). But as in "Think!," the story ends with the complication that the grandfather's robot expresses a wish that the Laws didn't exist, something it should be incapable of wishing. The grandfather can't decide whether to report the wish and have the robot destroyed.
"Robot Visions" apparently was written for Robot Visions (1990), like "Robot Dreams" for its anthology. It deals with Temporalists in 2030 sending a robot 200 years into the future. The robot reports back, almost instantaneously, that it has spent five years in a happy world that has solved all contemporary problems and has no record of any other time traveler arriving from its past. The Temporalists decide to leave well enough alone and experiment no more, but the narrator suspects that the happy future was populated by humaniform robots of which he, the narrator, is the first of that kind.
Asimov's last words about his robots may have been his introduction to Robot Visions. In it he listed the 16 robot stories that he considered particularly significant. They were "Robbie," "Reason," "Liar!," "Runaround,'' "Evidence," "Little Lost Robot," "The Evitable Conflict" all from I, Robot "Franchise," "The Last Question," "The Feeling of Power," "Feminine Intuition," "The Bicentennial Man," The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, and Robots and Empire. He also mentioned some of the other stories he was fond of but that broke no new ground, among them "Galley Slave," "Lenny," "Someday," "Christmas Without Rodney," "Think!," "Mirror Image," "Too Bad!," and "Segregationist."
Two stories in I, Robot were omitted from his final two robot collections: "Catch That Rabbit!" and "Escape"; but only two stories from the eight in The Rest of the Robots were included: "Lenny" and "Galley Slave." Clearly I, Robot still held first place in Asimov's affections, and even a couple of stories from that volume were considered dated or less worthy. Some of those omitted, but not all, were included in The Complete Robot published in 1982.
In the introduction to Robot Visions Asimov also admitted that he liked his robot stories better than his Foundation stories.
In the process of writing nearly 40 stories about robots over a period
