{{quote|"Uh oh -- an enraged water heater!"}}

* [[Star Wars|R2-D2]] is the ultimate example, being not much ''more'' than a metal cylinder on wheels. Doesn't stop him [[Do-Anything Robot|packing plenty of hardware]] though.

* [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Character.samrobot.jpg Sam the Robot] from ''[[Sesame Street]]''. This being ''Sesame Street'', of course, he still has googly eyes and a bowtie.

* Robot, from the Captain Helix [[Show Within a Show]] in ''[[Hyperdrive]]''; unsurprising, given that it's a parody of ''[[Star Wars]]'' and cheap imitations of the same.

* Andy, the tin ''box'' robot on [[Quark]].

 

* ''[[Paranoia]]'': Jackobots (from "jack of all trades") are intended to be able to do the same physical things as humans, so they're basically humanoid in size and shape, but clearly mechanical. Other bots range from sorta humanoid (docbots, scrubots) to [[Sapient Ship]]s (warbots, flybots).

* Combat, Janitorial and Animal Care robots in the Classic ''[[Traveller]]'' adventure ''Research Station Gamma''.
