What was the name of the robot from Lost in Space?

Answer 1

Robot

Just to nitpick . . . in the second season episode "Ghost Planet" he is referred to as "Robot B-9." In every other episode he is addressed merely as "Robot."

In an episode where they travel back in time to just before they launch, there is a crate in Dr. Smiths office. It contains the Robot. On the side there is an acronym...G.U.N.T.H.E.R...which stood for General Utility Non Theorizing Environmental Robot. But as others have said, they always referred to him as Robot.

Answer 2

The "Robby" robot suit in Forbidden Planet was later reused in the less-popular movie The Invisible Boy. It made several further appearances in other movies and TV shows over the next few decades, including an episode of The Thin Man and The Addams Family. While Robby's appearance was generally consistent, there were notable exceptions, such as the 1962 Twilight Zone episode "Uncle Simon", where he was given a somewhat more human "face". At other times, Robby usually retained the working gears inside his bubble head, although the details of his "brain" and chest panel were sometimes altered. And in an episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Robby's bubble dome was used as part of a regeneration machine. Robby made few television or film appearances since the 1970s, although he made a cameo appearance in the 1984 movie Gremlins, where he can be seen standing in the background and speaking some of his trademark lines. He was also featured in a 2006 commercial for AT&T.

Robby walked on mechanical legs. Later models by his principal designer Robert Kinoshita, such as Robot B-9 of Lost in Space, moved smoothly on motorized treads. {Robby appears opposite Robot B-9 in Lost in Space episode #20 "War of the Robots"}. In Forbidden Planet, Robby was operated by Frankie Darro from inside the suit and his distinctive voice was provided by actor Marvin Miller.

In 2004, Robby the Robot was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. In 2008, a robot apparently inspired by Robby was included in the video game Fallout 3 as the Protectron.
