Most notably Helix is a glorified autonomous forklift, yet he's sentient enough to develop hobbies and sense of humour. Then there are sapient [In the Future We Still Have Roombas|roombas]]. This is amply explained by the fact that the robotic factories that created virtually all of the robots we've met, being forced (due to damage sustained during the initial colonization) to use the Bowman Adaptive Neuronic Network, originally designed to 'uplift' animal species. While FTL transportation is prohibitively expensive for import of consumer and industrial goods. Thus the robots become smarter as they get older... regardless of their designed purpose.
