Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer choice. Oh, that's right -- following links is free, so you can do both!
You can go here and view the trailer for I, Robot starring Will Smith (http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/irobot.html) -- which, while obviously a huge screw-up of the Asimov canon, might conceivably have merits on its own. Dunno.
(Sony has created a fairly cool faux robot-industries site, I Robot Now (http://www.irobotnow.com/index.php), which I found by way of a real robot site, OnRobo - All About Home & Entertainment Robotics (http://www.onrobo.com/).)
Then, you can go here to the CG Forums (http://cgchar.toonstruck.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=22&t=74&s=8ee1cd5a9f00a8c4e92af44657affd72) and view character models for Robots, the next project from the folks who gave us Ice Age.
I Robot......probably my favorite Alan Parsons Project album. Tales of Mystery and Imagination runs a close second.
Honda has a real-life honest-to-goodness robot named Asimo out there. I haven't seen the price tag, but if I have to ask, I probably can't afford it. And if I did have one, what tasks would I have it do?
Quick cut to the VW commercial where the guys are singing along to Styx: "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto".
Mr. Roboto looks a bit like robots D84 and SV7 from one of the Doctor Who episodes I saw late at night. "The Robots of Death", I think it was called.
Kraftwerk has a song called "The Robots". But it's so heavily vocoded I can't understand the lyrics. Plus they're probably in German.
Battlebots or Robot Wars? I prefer Robot Wars.
Most industrial robots don't even resemble humans.

I may be seriously deranged.
