Laugh Out Loud at My list of the Top 10 Worst Robots in the Universe

If you sit down and think about it there are lots of robots that have been created. From the big to small, stupid to intelligent and imaginary to real life they do a good job and in our imagination a lot more. There are  experimental, one-offs, actual robots and androids.

The difference between robots and androids is that androids take the human shape (but can be a robot) and robots can take any shape at all. The human shape can be a hindrance, if it is made to clean toilets and in this case, a robot would be employed that is much smaller and shaped to go down the pipe (and to have an auto clean mechanism). The human shape is also very hard to build as balance is better with six or four legs and not with two, 12 arms is also better than two.

This is my list of top 10 worst robots. To build up the “tension” I am going to list the robots from not so bad to absolutely totally abysmal.

Bender

10.Bender is a robot with attitude. His full name is Bender Bending Rodríguez, He is a cartoon character from Futurama that is described on the programme as an “alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler”. He only really likes other robots and has an urge to kill humans so he is not really a great robot to take along for a trip to the nearest cinema.

Star trek data

9.Lt Cmdr Data is the science officer in Star Trek and has a lot of trouble with emotions, he doesn’t have any. This is only a problem to him because you can’t miss what you haven’t got. Being an android, he looks just like a human but is much stronger and has all the advantages of a walking computer. He could do with a tan though.

Marvin the paranoid android

8.Marvin the paranoid android. If you haven’t seen the hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy then see it even if it’s only to hear Marvin get depressed again. Not feasible at all, this robot is great because it can keep you in a great mood, it just isn’t possible not to laugh at such a depressed being.

7.R2-D2. From Star Wars fame this lovable little robot has an attitude as well, but is very impractical. A bit impractical R2-D2 seems to have no problem with stairs, cars or any other hard to climb onto object. The ramp out of the millennium falcon has just the right angle, and the floors of a starship are all flat it seems. Anyway, I just love this little robot he appeals to me, whereas K-9 and Johnny five are just totally pathetic.

c 3po

6.C-3PO of Star Wars fame is just a really daft robot. It waddles around and I find that I’m just waiting for it to fall over. It seems to need an upgrade, a very big upgrade. Always annoying and always useless the only good thing I can see about it is It’s nice and shiny gold metal finish, although I wouldn’t like to be the cleaner and maintainer.

Ed 209

5.ED-209 is a mindless two legged robot that just seems to have been developed to give RoboCop a bit of a fight. It appears in the film Robocop and it’s very easy to hack it. My problem with this robot is that you just need to creep up behind it and knock it over and then it won’t be able to get up again, mainly, because it has no arms. It just has guns for arms.

K9

4.K-9 is a robotic hound from Doctor Who. What a stupid design, even for a robot. It trundles around on wheels and needs to be lifted everywhere. There have been a few versions of this daft dog and the latest doesn’t need to be lifted up stairs or into cars as it has been improved. It now has levitation and teleportation to help people’s backs and to comply with health and safety. Really it’s the writers fudging the script. Even my dog goes in the other room when this comes on, (for the kids of course).

Johnny 5

3.Johnny five is a robot that appears in the film short-circuit. This robot just isn’t feasible. Made to look good it seems to get over things and around things very easy with its caterpillar tracks. Whatever it needs appears out of its body. This robot is just not feasible, is to sweet and has a name like a contraceptive.

2.The Robot Monster (from the movie of the same name) has been sent to Earth as the advance party of an impending invasion. Ordered by The Great One to capture several humans, the Robot Monster becomes confused once it learns more about humans. This is a bit of a pathetic monster although the poor humans in this clip seem to be having trouble with it.

1.Venusian Robots from the film target Earth are just the worst robots I have ever seen. I cannot say any more except watch the video, the only good thing is that I couldn’t stop laughing.
