My fave is from 'Lost in Space' (I guess that really dates me, eh?)
He was a really useful robot, what with the ability to detect and warn of DANGER! 

(and now you can own your very own, for the low low price of $24,500!!!)

Gotta be Marvin from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

 

He's much smarter than me, and his world view makes mine look positive.

Big question...  Hard question...

What's your favorite robot ever and why?

 

Of wowee robot I like all of the humanoid ones, but the new roboquad looks cool to, but my favorite one ever, that's a hard one. R2D2 might be mine. You can't not like him

My favorite robot is deffinetly QRIO from SONY ... I think him and ASIMO from HONDA dominates the humanoid robot horizonts until now. I prefer QRIO instead of ASIMO (wich is more human by stature) because is smaller and can do the same things like ASIMO (wich is harder to do). Larger scale robots need to much power but small scale robots has small space for all the components and smaller batteries.

 P.S.: because of him I bought the RS Media ( Tilden said in one article "The RSMedia is designed as a hackers dream, everything the QRIO was supposed to be without the cost."

My current favourite is Pino but this could change when Robosapien arrives. I have just ordered version 1 from amazon. He will be the same height as Pino but I believe he is a much superior robot. In my picture below you can see other old favourites Tekno the puppy and Ir-V online robot. No I am not a kid, just a middle-aged geek. I also collect some action figures, like the Sideshow Fox Mulder from the X-Files below, but it is great to have the interaction with the robots. The Ir-V I bought merely as a collector's item but he is funny

I also have an ET [based on Spielberg's movie ET] interactive toy which is more like a robot with over 240 spoken phrases and he also has emotions, sings, plays games and so on. He is a firm favourite but he can also get annoying as he constantly chatters as does Ir-V.

I can't wait to get my Robosapien and look forward to learning a lot about him from the board and look foward to interacting with fellow robot fans :)

Thank you 4mem8, Pino is a delight, I must admit. I only bought him recently for just £15 [approx $30]. I hate to say it but ET seems to be more advanced than he is but I am still learning about him. I will certainly keep RSV2M in mind. I want to see how I get on with operating RSV1 first.

There are a couple of nice Pino videos at youtube, including an original promotional video and a music video a fan [not me] made which is very cool if a bit sad at the end although I don't believe it ;)

Hi, I am really chuffed at winning a bid on ebay UK for a Pino Robot toy for just £8 + £4 postage. I am hoping he will interact with my other Pino toy.  

There is another one up there but he is damaged, batteries were left in the case too long and have rusted, some of the coils have come away. Perhaps someone here is interested in it if they are handy at fixing them, you can see him here 

There is also an amazing looking Robonova for £395.00 about $600 up at ebay UK. 

My robosapien has been dispatched and should be here tomorrow hopefully but Pino is cstill currently my favourite. He reminds me of the video clips of Asimo.

my favorite robot is robosapien v2 even though i got a robosapien v1. i just like it in all ways . i think that is how a robot should be in the first place but at a lower price.
