Denise Avatar Robby the Robot. Robby the Robot<\/b> is a fictional character and science fiction<\/a> icon who first appeared in the 1956 film Forbidden Planet<\/a><\/i>. He made a number of subsequent appearances in science fiction movies<\/a> and television programs, usually without specific reference to the original film character.<\/p>\n

Robby the Robot originated as a character in the 1956 MGM science fiction film Forbidden Planet<\/i>. The story centers on a crew of space explorers from Earth who land their starship, the C57-D<\/a>, on the planet Altair<\/a>\u00a0IV, ruled by the mysterious Dr.\u00a0Morbius. Robby is a mechanical servant that Morbius has designed, built, and programmed using knowledge gleaned from his study of the Krell, a long-extinct race of highly intelligent beings that once populated Altair\u00a0IV. The film\u2019s plot appears loosely based on William Shakespeare<\/a>\u2019s play The Tempest<\/a><\/i> (1610), with the planet Altair IV standing in for Shakespeare\u2019s remote island and Dr.\u00a0Morbius for Prospero<\/a>. In this context Robby is analogous to Ariel<\/a>, a spirit enslaved by Prospero.<\/p>\n

Robby exhibits artificial intelligence<\/a> but has a distinct personality that at times exhibits a dry wit<\/a>. He is instructed by Morbius to be helpful to the Earthmen and does so by synthesizing and transporting to their landing site 10\u00a0tons of “isotope\u00a0217”, a lightweight though still effective replacement for the requested lead shielding needed to house the C57-D\u2019s main stardrive to power an attempt to contact Earth base for further instructions. Morbius programmed Robby to obey a system of rules similar to Isaac Asimov<\/a>\u2019s Three Laws of Robotics<\/a> as expressed in I, Robot<\/a><\/i> (1950).[2]<\/a><\/sup> One of the laws is a rule against harming or killing humans; this becomes an important plot point near the conclusion of the film when Robby refuses to kill the Id<\/a> monster, recognizing the invisible creature to be an alter ego<\/a>\/extension of Dr.\u00a0Morbius. Hollywood purposely, and misleadingly, depicts Robby in the film\u2019s advertising posters as a terrifying adversarial creature carrying a seductively posed unconscious maiden (Altaira), but no such scene is in the film and the images do not reflect in any way Robby’s benevolent and intelligent character. Robby only carries one person during the film, the Earth starship’s Dr. Ostrow, when he is mortally wounded near the end of the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
