{{Short description|none}} {{multiple issues| {{Excessive examples|date=April 2015}} {{More citations needed|date=April 2015}} {{list dispute|date=May 2018}} {{original research|date=May 2018}} }} {{Use dmy dates|date=June 2024}} [[File:Maria from metropolis.JPG|thumb|upright|"[[Maschinenmensch]]" from the 1927 film [[Metropolis (1927 film)|''Metropolis'']]. Statue in Babelsberg, Germany.]] This '''list of fictional robots and androids''' is chronological, and categorised by medium. It includes all depictions of [[robot]]s, [[Android (robot)|androids]] and [[gynoid]]s in literature, television, and cinema; however, robots that have appeared in more than one form of media are not necessarily listed in each of those media. This list is intended for all fictional computers which are described as existing in a humanlike or mobile form. It shows how the concept has developed in the human imagination through history. [[Robot]]s and [[Android (robot)|androids]] have frequently been depicted or described in works of fiction. The word "robot" itself comes from a work of fiction, [[Karel Čapek]]'s play, ''[[R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)]]'', written in 1920 and first performed in 1921. ==Theatre== {{For|robots produced for entertainment in the eighteenth century|Automaton#Modern automata}} * '''''[[Coppélia]]''''', a life-size dancing doll in the ballet of the same name, choreographed by [[Marius Petipa]] with music by [[Léo Delibes]] (1870) * The word ''robot'' comes from [[Karel Čapek]]'s play, ''[[R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)]]'', written in 1920 in [[Czech language|Czech]] and first performed in 1921. Performed in New York 1922 and an English edition published in 1923. In the play, the word refers to [[Artificial life|artificially created life]] forms.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wired.com/2011/01/0125robot-cometh-capek-rur-debut/|title=Jan. 25, 1921: Robots First Czech In|last=Long|first=Tony|work=[[Wired.com]]|date=2011-01-25|access-date=2017-06-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518000853/https://www.wired.com/2011/01/0125robot-cometh-capek-rur-debut/|archive-date=18 May 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> Named robots in the play are '''Marius''', '''Sulla''', '''Radius''', '''Primus''', '''Helena''', and '''Damon'''. The play introduced and popularized the term "robot". Čapek's robots are biological machines that are assembled, as opposed to grown or born. ==Literature== {{See also|Robots in literature}} ===19th century and earlier=== * The woman forged out of gold in Finnish myth ''The [[Kalevala]]'' ([[prehistoric]] folklore) * From 600 BC onward, legends of talking bronze and clay [[statue]]s coming to life have been a regular occurrence in the works of classical authors such as [[Homer]], [[Plato]], [[Pindar]], [[Tacitus]], and [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]]. In Book 18 of the ''[[Iliad]]'', [[Hephaestus]] the god of all mechanical arts, was assisted by two moving female statues made from gold – "living young damsels, filled with minds and wisdoms". Another legend has Hephaestus being commanded by [[Zeus]] to create the first woman, [[Pandora]], out of clay. The myth of [[Pygmalion (mythology)|Pygmalion]], king of [[Cyprus]], tells of a lonely man who sculpted his ideal woman, [[Galatea (mythology)|Galatea]], from ivory, and promptly fell in love with her after the goddess [[Aphrodite]] brought her to life. * The 5th-century BCE Chinese text, the [[Liezi]], contains a description of a humanoid machine which can sing and dance like a human. The automaton is presented to [[King Mu of Zhou]] by its inventor, but it offends the king by winking at court ladies and trying to flirt with them, so the inventor disassembles it to show the court that it is a machine. The king sees that it has artificial analogues of human organs, which are made of leather, wood, glue, and paint, and each fulfill necessary functions for its operation. * '''Talos''', bronze giant [[Talos]] in [[Apollonius of Rhodes]]' ''[[Argonautica]]'', 3rd century BC * '''[[Brazen head]]s''', attributed to numerous scholars involved in the introduction of Arabian science to medieval Europe, particularly [[Roger Bacon]] (13th century) * '''Golem''' – The legend of the [[Golem]], an animated man of clay, is mentioned in the [[Talmud]].

T. A. Hoffmann]]'s ''[[Der Sandmann]]'' (1814) * [[Frankenstein's monster|Artificial human-like being]] created by [[Victor Frankenstein]] in [[Mary Shelley]]'s ''[[Frankenstein|Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus]]'' (1818) * '''''[[The Steam Man of the Prairies]]''''', [[Edward S.

O'Connor|William Douglas O'Connor]]. First appeared in ''[[The Atlantic Monthly]]'', April 1891 * ''The Dancing Partner'' by [[Jerome K. Jerome]] of ''[[Three Men in a Boat]]'' fame (1893) * The ''[[mecha]]''-like '''[[Fighting machine (The War of the Worlds)|tripod]]s''' that the [[Martian (The War of the Worlds)|Martian]]s use to conquer the [[Earth]] in ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' by [[H. G. Wells]] (1897) * "The New Frankenstein" by Ernest Edward Kellett (1899), in which an inventor creates an "anti-phonograph" that according to the narrator "can give the appropriate answer to every question I put", and installs in it a robotic female body that "will guide herself, answer questions, talk and eat like a rational being, in fact, perform the part of a society lady." The android proves convincing enough to fool two suitors who wish to marry her.<ref>{{cite book | title = Frankenstein: A Cultural History | last = Hitchcock | first = Susan Tyler | publisher = [[W.

Bang!]]'' podcast, played by [[John Gemberling]]. Little Button Puss, a.k.a. '''HPDP69-B''', is a promotional robot built by [[Hewlett-Packard]] and is the first ever robot created with a fully sentient artificial intelligence, personality, and speaking function. It was designed by HP engineers for the express purpose of sexually pleasing humans. ''Comedy Bang! Bang!'' host [[Scott Aukerman]] was sent Little Button Puss as part of a promotional advertising campaign for the line of sex-robots. Little Button Puss looks like a metal dog, and has small flesh patches where its genitals are. Elsewhere, it's described as having the appearance of "nickel blue, gun metal". It is verified in the episode that Scott Aukerman lustily removed Little Button Puss' retractable genitals, threw them in a trash can, and then proceeded to use the HPDP69-B for its intended purpose. Afterwards, according to ''Comedy Bang! Bang!'' official canon, Aukerman looked back on the incident with shame. A complaint about the HPDP69-B is that for a sex-robot, "it looks too much like a metal dog".
