I have come to collect data regarding human opinions on robots. Specifically, I would like some examples of what you consider to be famous robots in history. Preferably coming in pairs, like R2D2 and C3PO.
Failure to comply will result in... absolutely nothing happening. Your cooperation, however, is appreciated by the AI collective.
Crow and Tom Servo.

This reminds me of a picture that George Takei posted to FB recently:

Lots of robots to choose from (though I was never able to find Crow in there, which would be an outrageous oversight!).
EDIT: And haha, so of course right after I post that, I immediately notice him.
EDIT2: apparently that's not the version Takei posted, and it has Wall-E elsewhere (or not even there?). Here is that version, which, in my defense, does not have Crow (or at least not in the same spot)!
Robot Frank
Data and Lore could count...kind of.
That's the best I got right now.
AND Robot Ron!Quote:

Congrats to all the winners.
I don't see how Crow and Tom Servo can't be the winner. In fact, this thread has already been killed. We can't revive dead threads!
Wall-E and EVE, for some challenge to Crow and Tom Servo. Not like they'll provide any. :shobon:
did any of you find wall-e in that pic? I swore I've found him before, and he was straight up from that robot that was introduced in the space station scene (near the bottom middle)
Oh, how could I have forgotten!
Mega Man and Proto Man
I found Wall-E! :D
*flips laptop out of rage for also forgetting that*Quote:

Do AIs count? If so, Wheatley and GLaDOS.
Good one.Quote:

also:
- Bender and Flexo
- Durandal and Cortana (sure they're not from the same series, but same developer at least)
I thought of one other robot or AI as well but I forgot to post it and now it's gone :(
edit: it was Marvin, of course. How did I forget? I'm even re-reading those books right now.
Cylon Six and can I put Gaius even though he's not a robot because Gaius4lyf
Again if I can do a person as well EDI and joker
EDIT: also in regards to that post picture wes posted. Daleks aren't robots.
Google Slurp Spider and Yahoo Slurp Spider. Our very own bots.
What about robot trios?
Sektor, Cyrax, and Smoke (robot) from the Mortal Kombat series could also count.
cyber sub zero
Hey award bot, change your usertitle.
Cortana and 343 Guilty SparkQuote:

The very best answers shall be used for Ciddies purposes which many of you have likely already deduced. What constitutes a best answer is determined partially by very logical mathematical algorithms and partially by popular vote here.
How about most likely, to be Mike, Joel, Servo, and Crow? Double the MST3K fun! MST6K!
Are you going to assimilate us Award Bot?
Also, ATLAS and Pbody from Portal
Glados and Wheatly from Portal
Companion cube and Furnace from Portal
Potato Glados and Super Wheatly from portal
Turret and Broken turret from portal.
Given that I have no clue who Crow and Tom Servo are, I think you're better off using more famous duos that everyone will enjoy regardless of their country of residence.
My favourite of those already mentioned is easily Wheatley and GLaDOS, who have the personality and popularity to make for a high quality Ciddies duo. Wall-E and Eve are another great idea.
Optimus & Megatron is an easy choice, but Starscream and any other transformer would possibly be more fun.
You could opt for a less robotic duo, with the likes of Neo and Agent Smith.
For great robot/human duos, though, I would say that Ripley/Bishop and Picard/Data have to be right up there.
My favourites so far are the Portal 2 pairing and the Aliens pairing.
EDIT: Also, Joker/EDI is worth considering, too - good personality, chemistry and notably they are actually relevant to the past six months!
T-800 and John Conner
Japanese happy time toilet and anyone else
Starscream and Rainbow Dash
Magnemite and Voltorb
Bender and Fry/ Bender and Washbucket/ Bender and female bender/Bender and Fanny/ Bender and the Crushinator
Wolverine and a sentinel
Inspector gadget and Penny
Ratchet and Clank/ Clank and Clunk/ Clank and Dr Nefarious/ Clunk and Dr Nefarious
Will Robinson and his robot
Any true nerd over the age of 20 or so that has access to the internet knows who Crow and Tom Servo are. You are an embarrassment to these here forums. Now go watch some MST3k.Quote:

It's pretty common for Americans to assume that everyone knows about the shows they watched as kids, but it's not always the case. From what he said, it sounds pretty amusing, though.Quote:

I thank everyone for their time. We have moved on to the next phase of this process. Please proceed to this thread for follow-up and possibly cake: http://home.eyesonff.com/general-cha...ssistance.html
