One alternative to having bipedal, human-shaped robots is the minimalist approach. If they can float via Artificial Gravity or some unknown phlebotinum, then they can dispense with the torso and the legs and all those other messy, mechanical parts. All they need is a casing for their processor and a floating thingamajigger. A visible face is optional; more common is a single glowing "eye" with Unusual Eyebrows around it. That's the way the logic goes, anyway. Some of these are more complicated for various assorted roles: they may have weapons or tools or arms attached. Sometimes they'll be expanded to a full-blown robot torso, only with antigravity instead of legs. The "floating head" version is usually a sidekick or a Robot Buddy if on the protagonist's side, since the small size lends itself well to comic relief. On the opposing side, expect it to be higher up; often it's the Big Bad. The lack of hands and AI nature often means that its additional role will be The Cracker. Compare Floating Mask, Flying Face, and Oculothorax. Contrast Hover Mecha. Examples |

Seen after the graphic leap to 16-bits in ''Mega Man (Classic) with at least one Robot Master having a floating system instead of using legs as most of the RM of the series: Cloud Man, Astro Man and Splash Woman (she uses a mermaid tail instead of having no feet, but also floats on the stage). Also, some of Dr. Wily's giant robots from his fortresses use this system to float all over the screen to beat Mega Man. | |

In the Fallout universe, the common Mr. Handy utility robot is a floating sphere (kept aloft by very small rockets) with several arms, vaguely resembling an octopus. The sphere has three eyes on stalks to act as an expressive "face". As the series progressed, variations of the Mr. Handy were introduced, including the war-built Mr. Gutsy, the Distaff Counterpart Miss Nanny, and the farm-built Mr. Farmhand. | |

Sewer Shark features such a robot named Catfish. He goes ahead of your ship to find the route you need to take to accomplish your objective, whether it's as simple as "find mutated sewer creatures to shoot" or as complicated as "follow another ship and give me directions." He's played by an awful wire-controlled puppet. Well, it was the mid-'90s and FMV games didn't have the best resolution... | |

The Disney Television cartoon series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command has XR as one of Buzz's close associates. XR's head floats above his trunk but below a clear dome. Since he's an Iron Butt Monkey on the show, this head is often the only part of him left intact, and it delivers a pithy observation about his destruction. The same series also introduces XR's Evil Counterpart, XL, a beta version of XR that went rogue. | |

Wheatley and the rest of the cores from Portal 2 fit the decription partially. They're more cubical than round, but they do have the Cyber Cyclops part down.

Warhammer 40,000: Servo-skulls, which look like what you would expect given the name. They're used for a variety of functions, from surveillance to simply holding a flashlight. The kicker is that the casing is sometimes a real skull. T'au drones are simple robots resembling flying metal saucers with a variety of things bolted to their upper and undersides, such as civilian tools, guns, shield generators, and cameras. They're used for a variety of roles that are either too simple and tedious or too risky for a living person to perform, such as performing rote maintenance, assisting workers or soldiers, or running scouting missions. |

PJ Masks has PJ Robot, the heroes' Robot Buddy, who can fly and thus has no legs or wheels (though concept art for the character shows these were originally considered). | |

The Culture features several drones as supporting characters. Drones are artificial intelligences (calling them "robots" is insulting as they are full Culture citizens rather than non-intelligent servitors) that vary from roughly human-sized to something that can fit comfortably in the palm of someone's hand. They usually have no moving parts, or any significant external features; they use a complex series of fields (forcefields, basically) to levitate and manipulate the world around them as a form of technological telekinesis. Although most drones have roughly the same intelligence and strength as a (gifted) human, some are significantly more capable. | |

Hard Time on Planet Earth: the protagonist is an alien sentenced to living on Earth. His FHR is a combination helper/jailer, as it's there primarily to make sure he doesn't leave. | |

Mega Man Seen after the graphic leap to 16-bits in ''Mega Man (Classic) with at least one Robot Master having a floating system instead of using legs as most of the RM of the series: Cloud Man, Astro Man and Splash Woman (she uses a mermaid tail instead of having no feet, but also floats on the stage). Also, some of Dr. Wily's giant robots from his fortresses use this system to float all over the screen to beat Mega Man. In Mega Man X5, Sigma, who usually appears in full body, now just appears as a single gigantic head. He shows up as the Warmup Boss... who actually planned for the heroes to defeat him so that he can spread his Sigma Virus around when he's destroyed. |
