"Robot Visions" (1990) is a collection of science fiction short stories and factual essays by Isaac Asimov. Many of the stories are reprinted from other Asimov collections, particularly "I, Robot" and "The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories." However, the stories in "I, Robot" (which were originally published in "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine) were edited to make a more cohesive whole; "Robot Visions" reprints the magazine versions without these emendations. It also includes the title story, "Robot Visions", which combines Asimov's motifs of robots and of time travel. It is the companion book to "Robot Dreams."
