Robots are a phenomenon that have been a science-fictional creative outlet for as long as the genre existed. They're mainly symbolic of the future, but ironically enough, they replicate the fundamentals of human nature more than you would think. A lot of the time, a movie would start with a scientist or a human in general who gets a robot of some sort, but then they notice that their robot is starting to develop human characteristics... mainly emotions or sentiment, that attracts or repels the main character. Sometimes, it works out really well where the robot becomes a part of the human's life. Other times, their development worries the human and they try to get rid of it. From there, the robot may either fight back or just become a martyr for robots everywhere.
