Robots



First Appearance: Space Pilot 3000

Description
Robots were first built by Humans to improve their lives. It has gotten to the point now that robots outnumber Humans&mdash;or at least, voting humans&mdash;by one. Robots started off constantly maufuctioning and with many problems. Then new sports utilty robots came out poluting the Earth. In 3003 a new robot model came out Robot 1-X which unlike past robots, didn't maufuction, wasn't poluting and was kind and not rude.

There appear to be two main types, or castes, of robot:

Laborer Robots
Likely built by Humans, these robots are bound to their programming. They can be easily identified by the fact that their name often reflects their job. They are not all "laborers", per se, but they were built for a specific job, which they perform without question.

Civilian Robots
Possibly built by robots (evidenced by Bender's statement, "We can always build more killbots" (1ACV04)), these are free to do as they please, and in fact, many are homeless. They still seem to pay homage to Mom on Mother's Day, though. Their names tend to have little to do with their occupations.
