Compare Sex Bot when a robot is designed as a sexual toy. When a Fembot meets a male robot, Robo Romance might ensue. ![]() If you're interested, the technical term for these bots is "gynoid" same root as "android", but "andro" means man (in the sense of a male human) while "gyno" means woman (obviously). The name comes from 1976's The Bionic Woman, though the fembots in those were robot girls. The obvious question is "why", when robots don't reproduce sexually but one can also say "Why not?" and further "why are genderless machines lumped in with males by default anyway?" When this trope applies to Humongous Mecha instead of robot, they are almost always piloted by girls. It's not enough to add Tertiary Sexual Characteristics or a Breast Plate. It may not make too much sense when robots in a given universe lack certain "functions" or if the robot is male while in construction.įembots tend to be rarer in fiction, simply because it's easier to design a robotic character that doesn't look distinctly feminine than one that does. Sometimes it's explained away as just a mere coincidence that the mecha resembled a woman a la Pareidolia.

Other times it's completely inhuman such as cameras and televisions for heads.įembots also encompasses the mecha genre as well as some mechs look like gigantic metal women. Their faces would often not be as articulate and human-like as a robot girl's even to the point that it's just a static mask. At times, should the fembot not be designed to wear human clothes, their torso would often sport components that would resemble feminine clothing such as hip mounted boosters that resembles a skirt. Where there should be hair is often replaced with a hairdo shaped head casing. Their body is protected by sheets of metal or plastic plating as opposed to the robot girl's synthetic skin. While robot girls always look human with the possible exceptions of antennae or metal joints, fembots are unmistakably robotic. Other Tertiary Sexual Characteristics may also be present, especially being colored pink or other pastel colors.ĭiffers from a Robot Girl in that a robot girl is basically a girl who happens to be a robot, while a Fembot is a robot who happens to be a girl. ![]() This tends to include Robot Hair, sleeker, curvier bodies and bumps on the chest, as well as possible makeup-like patterns on the face.
