You can find this in The Complete Robot, The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories and Robot Visions.

Originally, U S Robots would sell robots to customers, but later changed to simply leasing them so they could maintain total control over what happened to their robots, recall them, modify them, replace whole model lines completely, etc.. But what ever happened to those that they sold and were never traded in for an upgrade?

This is the story of one such robot.

Another super good robot story.

Next up in the robot line is Robot Visions. ( )

I've always enjoyed Asimov's style. So easy to read.
Many of the stories were predictable in how they would end, but they are nearly 50 years old.

Bicentennial Man was the best of the stories by a fair way. ( )

First words
Here I am with another collection of science fiction stories, and I sit here and think, with more than a little astonishment, that I have been writing and publishing science fiction now for just three-eighths of a century.
