Robot has no skin tones and no plain text form. Six items follow the skin tone you pick under More options: the four people in the makers group and the combos Doing the robot and Built it myself.

Where the word comes from

Robot is a Czech word. Wikipedia and Wiktionary agree that it reached the public in 1920 through Karel Čapek's play R.U.R., and that Čapek credited his brother Josef with it. The root is robota, which Wiktionary glosses as serfdom, corvee and any arduous work.

Tips
  • Alien monster is the robot's nearest relative on paper: Unicode's names list cross-references the two. Arcade rivals sets them side by side.
  • does not compute is plain ASCII. Wiktionary calls it a phrase uttered by robots in science fiction and a joke for that makes no sense.
  • Low battery and Troll are the newest emoji here, from Emoji 14.0; an older device shows an empty box. Robot itself dates from Emoji 1.0.

Questions and answers

What does the robot emoji mean?

Unicode does not say. CLDR, the Unicode project's list of search words, gives only face, monster and robot. Wiktionary's senses cover the rest: a mechanical being from science fiction, a machine built for a task, software, and a person who seems to have no emotions.

Is there a robot arm emoji?

In effect. Mechanical arm, U+1F9BE, and Mechanical leg, U+1F9BF, date from Emoji 12.0 and are the only emoji CLDR files under mechanical. Its other words for both are accessibility and prosthetic, never robot. Neither takes a skin tone.

Is there an android or cyborg emoji?

No. CLDR files no emoji under android, cyborg or bot. The first group is built from the three words it does have: robot, which Robot has alone, mechanical, and machine, which only Slot machine and Fax machine have.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. Names, code points, skin tone sequences and Emoji version numbers come from Unicode's emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); item names are the CLDR short names in sentence case. The first two groups follow stated rules: every emoji whose search words in the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch) include robot, mechanical or machine, which is five, and then every other emoji whose words include monster, which is nine. The words quoted in the notes are CLDR's, and each claim that an emoji is the only one with a word, or one of a counted few (robot, mechanical, machine, monster, prosthetic, pixelated, gamer, cog, cogwheel, screw, bolt, spanner, battery, drained, electronic, plug, zap, electricity, inventor, engineer, assembly, mechanic), was checked by the script against the whole file; it also checked that no emoji has the word android, cyborg, bot, technology or beep. Formal character names come from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt); the cross-reference between Robot face and Alien monster, the one between Battery and Low battery, the glosses technology and tools, tower computer and audio control, and the notes on the power symbol are from NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt), which has none for U+1F916. The origin of the word robot is from Wikipedia's article Robot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot) and Wiktionary's entry robot (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/robot), which agree: the 1920 play R.U.R. by Karel Čapek, who credited his brother Josef with the word, from Czech robota. Other senses and translations are from the Wiktionary entries robota, bot, does not compute, γƒ­γƒœγƒƒγƒˆ, ζ©Ÿε™¨δΊΊ and λ‘œλ΄‡. The binary string is computed from the ASCII codes of the five letters; the three styled spellings, the two power symbols and the first text robot are built from code points whose names the script checks. The text robots and the 13 combos with their names are this site's own; nobody has standardised them. All sources were checked on 2026-09-19.
