Robots

Along the lines of "five favorite aliens in sci-fi" (as seen below), how about five favorite robots/computational intelligences in sci-fi?

  1. Robot, on Lost in Space (the TV series).

  2. Ralph Numbers, in Software by Rudy Rucker.

  3. HAL 9000, from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

  4. Robotic Maria, from Metropolis.

  5. Huey, Dewey, and Louie, from Silent Running.

Mr Smith in "Period Piece" by J. J. Coupling (J. R. Pierce) is one of the two fictional characters I identify with most (tho I am not actually a robot myself).
