Robot is a friendly character on Netflix's Lost in Space. He develops a bond with Will Robinson, becoming his friend. He is an amalgam of shapeshifting alien metal and organic thought patterns and one of many alien Robots that comprise an entire species.
Robot was built by another alien race, known as the Robot Builders, who all went extinct after SAR dropped an alien engine on their planet which acted as a bomb. Robot's full origin is unknown. It's also unknown what year he was built. What we do know, is that he was born on the Shattered planet at one of its cites. At some point in time he was friends with Scarecrow and when he crashed on Earth he was heartbroken. Robot later detected Scarecrow on the Resolute, so he took his ship and went to the Resolute to rescue him and get his engine.
After Will Robinson is separated from his father and wanders into the forest, he comes across Robot's ship, as well as Robot's lower half. Will climbs a tree to get away from the unknown creature (the lower half of Robot), only to find himself next to the upper half on the tree limb. Robot is initially hostile towards Will (with his face lights colored red), but soon seems to lose energy and is dying. A fire springs up all around Will and Robot. Without hope, Will uses a string saw to cut the limb, allowing the upper and lower halves of Robot to be reunited. Moments later a fully connected Robot climbs up the tree, takes Will into his arms and carries him to safety.
Once safely away, Robot and Will assess one another. Robot holds out his 3 fingered limb to Will and scans the boy. He then morphs into a humanoid shape, so as to not be as threatening toward Will. His face lights have also turned blue at this time indicating a more passive temperament.
Robot then appears at the top of the hill, walking down towards the sunken Jupiter 2 ship, where the Robinson family is frantically working on freeing Judy from the ice. John, initially assuming the Robot has hostile intent, holds a knife guarding his family. Will runs down exclaiming it is ok and the Robot will not hurt them. He then asks the Robot if he will help to free his trapped sister. The Robot holds his hands over the hole the family has dug and heats the surrounding ice (presumably with what were once hand lasers). Once fully melted, he reaches in and pulls Judy out, freeing her from the ice. Once the family is huddled together, hugging Judy, Will asks for another favor. He asks if the Robot can do something to keep them from freezing. Again, the Robot holds out his hands and keeps the Robinson family warm all night long (mentioned earlier, the temperature will be at least -60).
The following morning, Robot goes to the frozen ice and heating its body descends to the Jupiter 2. Working together, pumps are put in place and water levels lower throughout the ship. The Robot works to dry the top levels of the family's ship. At one point, John walks to Robot and questions what it is. Later, John and Maureen head off to look for survivors of other Jupiter ships. John, not wanting to leave the Robot on the ship only with his daughters, invites Will to join him and his mother. When Maureen questions this, John says,"You don't get one without the other." Maureen indicates that she trusts the Robot, because it saved both her son and daughter and is helping the family with the ship. She comments that these are behaviors which help to build trust.
While exploring, John hears a strange sound on the radio and Will tells him that he recognizes the sound from his time spent in the forest. The sound is coming from Robot's downed ship. Maureen implores her son to have the Robot lead them back to the ship despite John's reservations. Once at the ship, Maureen and John go inside, leaving Will and Robot outside. During this waiting period, Will finds a baseball in his backpack (apparently placed there by his dad) and teaches the Robot to play catch. It goes well until the ball rolls under a piece of metal. Struggling to get it, Will is assisted by the Robot, who presses on the metal arch to raise the other end. When he touches the metal, something happens. Robot's face lights turn from blue to red and as Will is also touching the metal, it seems to establish a psychic link between him and Robot. He is able to see through the Robot's eyes the attack on the Resolute and see Robot's involvement. This psychic link is probably the reason that Will is able to command Robot and also feels such a bond with him. At the same time, inside the ship, Maureen and John are presented with a map of the stars and learn that they are no longer in the Milky Way galaxy. When the Robot releases his touch of the metal, the map disappears and the psychic link is severed. Will is afraid of what he saw and runs away into the forest, with Robot following after him. Will struggles to reconcile the images he saw with his apparent friend and protector, but determines that Robot is no longer like that as he has no memory of the events before the two met. Will asks Robot to lift it's left hand, then his right hand, before asking him to turn around and walk forward (which would lead him off a cliff). Robot without hesitation complies, but Will stops him at the last moment, asking him to come back to him. As Robot does, he kneels in front of Will in a tender moment.
Robot and Will reunite with John and Maureen and tell them they were exploring the surrounding area. As the family begins the journey back, a hail storm of metal (or stone) begins. Robot lifts his arm above Will's head in an effort to keep him from getting hit. The family runs to a large rock that offers some cover. John and Maureen shield Will between them sharing a knowing glance, when Penny's radio signal finally reaches them. She tells them she cannot locate them due to the storm and Maureen tells her to look for the light. The Robot has positioned himself on the rock above the family and proceeds to emit a signal light from side to side. When Penny arrives in the Chariot, the family scrambles in and the Robot climbs onto the back of the Chariot, as he is too large to fit inside.
As they are returning to their ship, the family take a slight detour to rescue June Harris, after she has left Don West. Once the family and June arrive back safely, June recognizes Robot as the one who attacked the Resolute, but Will assures her that he is completely safe.
Will is eventually forced to admit the truth to his father, that he has learned that it was Robot who was responsible for the attack on the Resolute. Additionally, the other colonists of the 24th Mission learn of the Robot, prompting a difficult decision. John has Will create a memorial of stones for those lost in the attack. He then takes the Robot to the top of a cliff and has him walk off, disabling him.("Eulogy)"Dr. Smith," ever-resourceful and ever-manipulative, witnesses this scene and decides to claim Robot as her own. She rescues his mangled form and manages to recover him, then uses him to try to manipulate Maureen Robinson. ("Resurrection") Eventually, the Jupiter 2 is launched back into space after Maureen manages to escape, but Dr. Smith tries to use Robot against her and Will, when another of the alien robots attacks. Ultimately, however, Robot shows a true loyalty and friendship to Will, protecting him from the other Robot and allowing their escape, but the alien drive from Robot's species is activated, sending the Jupiter 2 into a realm unknown. ("Danger, Will Robinson")
The Robinsons were stranded on a water planet. Although Will and Robot were apart the entire time, the two remained connected, Robot experienced visions of everything which happened to Will. He saw his life on the planet and the Robinsons, along with "Dr. Smith" and Don West. He watched from afar as they turned the Jupiter 2 into a sailing boat, which traversed the ocean of the planet in order to reach an electrical storm, which they used to recharge the vessel's batteries and escape from the planet. While on the planet, they discovered strange glyphs which matched those on Robot and his ship. ("Shipwrecked," "Precipice")
The Robinsons tracked a signal from the Resolute, which was in orbit around an amber planet. There, they discovered another robot named Scarecrow rampaging throughout the ship, but managed to contain him. Will Robinson then got a flash and realized that his own robot was on the planet below. ("Scarecrow")
With the help of one of the vessel's crew named Ben Adler and his mom Maureen, Will traveled to the planet to search for the Robot. He succeeded in finding him, but first they had to face off an attack by the SAR, Second Alien Robot. Will was overjoyed when he was finally reunited with his own Robot. ("Severed")
Due to the effects of a rust virus which was spreading on the planet, the group was forced to travel on horses, something which was definitely a new experience for the Robot. Upon first seeing one, he was startled, believing it to be a threat, but Will told him that they were actually friends and showed him one to calm one down when upset. He also explained the use a bit to Robot, explaining that it wouldn't hurt. He said that the horses were friends and the Robot agreed "Friend, Will Robinson."
As they continued their journey, they came across a herd of bison-like animals, which forced them stop and find an alternate route. Will gave Robot an apple and had him feed it to the horse in order to bond. The Robot then tried to remove the horse's bit, saying that it was a friend, but Will told him that while he might think he was helping, the horse needed the bit. It didn't know any better and would just wander off without it. As they continued, they got caught in a stampede, which badly injured Will's horse, Gypsy.
Robot stopped and comforted the horse, surprising Ben Adler, who was wary of anthropomorphizing Robot. Will comforted the horse too, explaining to the Robot that it wasn't like him and couldn't simply be repaired. The horse died and Robot created a memorial of rocks, similar to what Will had done back on the unknown planet. He then collected the horse's bridle, something to remember it by. Adler was stunned by the display, wary of believing that a creature like the Robot could mourn. ("Evolution")
