Mx. Chara Aznable (they/them) of Pnictogena little scene from Kyuranger, a #tokusatsu show that's got quite a few sentient synthetic beings in it, like Balance here. got to be correct about these things! perhaps there are mechanical lifeforms here who would rather not be called "robots". after all:
The word was coined by Czech author Karel Capek, first used in his play (English translated name) "R.U.R."[7][8][9] The term comes from the Czech word robotnik ('forced worker'), from robota 'forced labor, compulsory service, drudgery,' from robotiti 'to work, drudge', from an Old Czech source akin to Old Church Slavonic rabota (работа) 'servitude,' from rabu 'slave'.
