a tireless metal worker named after the Czech word for forced labor.
means A machine, especially a programmable one, built to perform tasks automatically, often in place of human labor.
from Coined for Karel Čapek's 1920 play R.U.R., from Czech 'robota' meaning forced labor or drudgery — the kind owed by a serf to a lord, rooted in the Slavic 'rab,' a slave. Čapek's brother Josef is credited with suggesting the word. So the very name carries the ghost of compulsory toil, fitting for creatures built to work without rest.
