By the list given, even Pinocchio should be listed as a robot movie. ---

I chose to build the Forbidden Planet version. I’m guessing that the author is referring to Robbie’s guest appearance on _Lost in Space_, as noted above. He was probably altered slightly from his appearance in _Forbidden Planet_. Both robots appeared, for example, in the episode “War of the Robots” from the first season. ---

Yeehaw! And another awesome project comes out of CMU– > [@](#): > > Fictional robots from films will soon be enshrined side-by-side with their real-world counterparts at Carnegie Mellon’s new Robot Hall of Fame. The reason? Science fiction and popular culture are often influential in the development of new technologies, including robotic technology. A robot hall of fame! Sometimes I think I have the coolest alma mater in the known universe! :sniff: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/100-robot-movies-in-chronological-order-just-because/284662.md?page=1)
