Robert the Robot was the first plastic toy robot to be manufactured in the USA. It was made using injection moulding, making it cheaper than earlier metal robots, and produced in large quantities/ the robot was extremely popular, with a remote control that allowed it to speak, and battery-powered lights in the eyes. Robert was being marketed in advance of the application of robots to manufacturing applications, demonstrating the capability of science fiction to pre-empt developments in the real world of science and technology - a recurring tenet of the history of robots.
