Robots

Science fiction is full of so many robots, it's hard to keep track of them. But here's a handy list
that runs down through the years, pointing out such classics as Doctor Who's K-9, all the way up to the Transformers and several movie favorites. Plus, check out this visual compendium and see if you can identify which robots are which simply by their silhouettes.


I see that smile.

I don't think so, since the views of all these robots are from a standing, forward pose. So if it was a roomba, it'd look like a flat disc. That seems to be some kind of sphere. Hal's eye, from 2001? Or does he just count as an AI? I'm stumped.
