   There is definitely a ton missing, but it would be near-impossible to   
   rank them *all*. Loads from Star Wars, more animated show ones (e.g.   
   Rosie from the Jetsons), as usual all the Asian and UK ones, such as   
   Doctor Who's Cybermen, Daleks (although more mechanical wheelchairs for   
   a living beings), Metal Mickey, "Humans" TV androids, Transformers, ...   
      
   It may also depend on what you term as a "robot". Something like KITT   
   is technically a car-shaped robot (self-thinking, self-moving, etc.).
