So your resident smart guy is already bespectacled, a master chess player, and fluent in Latin. How else can you show how brilliant he is? Why, by having him build robots of course! May be justified (said smart guy has a formal education in an appropriate branch of engineering, is a self-taught Gadgeteer Genius, etc.) or not (said smart guy is a teenager who just happens to, among his many other skills, be able to create from scratch a fully functional robot). A lonely or isolated creator might create a robot for the sake of having a friend or a lover. This may be because all nerds are good with technology, so building robots is the next logical step. In Sci-Fi stories, expect the creation to be an Artificially Intelligent anthropomorphic Robot Buddy. Or Evil. The smart guy could use his robot to battle the robots of other smart guys, destroy giant monsters, or do his chores. Compare and Contrast the Robot Master, who does this sort of thing for a living, rather than just as a hobby between many other non-robot related science projects. |

Averted with Megamind, who stops short at mere Motion-Capture Mecha instead, and a Powered Armor for his assistant Minion (who depends on it, being a limbless talking fish.) He also has those flying drones that act like dogs. He ends up blowing up some of them ("Daddy's sorry") when pretending to be Bernard, but later reveals he has hundreds more. Played straight in the follow-up short "The Button of Doom", where it's revealed that Megamind programmed his personality into a giant robot. | |

The Simpsons: Inverted in one episode. Homer & Bart try to build a robot for the Show Within a Show "Robot Rumble". But they can't get it to work, so Homer makes a "robot" that's just him in a metal suit. They make it to the finals, where they're matched up against five-time returning champs Professor Frink and son. Bart & Homer, being dumb, can't build a functioning robot. Played straight with the Frinks, who built a kickass fighting robot. Homer once did throw out a half-finished robot he built. It could talk and had brooms for arms. The robot looked very sad. Lisa built a robot called Linguo for her school science fair. He was designed to correct grammar. In one episode depicting the future, Martin Prince built himself a robot who went to a prom with him. When Martin got too friendly, the robot felt Driven to Suicide and auto-destructed himself. |

He directly lampshades this during a battle with Lord Vyce, noting that “There is something I have a special talent for: I am very good at building robots.� Doctor Linksano also counts, as he was the one who created the Cybermats that serve as Comicron One’s security force. |

Gaige from The Mechromancer DLC for Borderlands 2 built her Robot Buddy Deathtrap in her garage, intending to enter it in the school science fair as a bodyguard drone. The local Alpha Bitch built a Shoddy Knockoff and bribed all the judges so she'd win instead, and gave Gaige a push when she "won", and Deathtrap squished her (she's said to have "exploded") while trying to restrain her for assault. This led Gaige to leg it for Pandora. Deathtrap can be upgraded with all sorts of goodies depending on what perks Gaige's player takes. | |

Tails and Eggman's robots look like something you'd expect from a prodigy and a 300 IQ scientist. Knuckles' robot is a cardboard box with wheels and vacuum cleaner parts attached to it. | |

The film version of Iron Man is just as good at robotics as his comic-book counterpart. His house is heavily automated and run by an artificial intelligence named Jarvis. He routinely builds (and rebuilds) complicated systems of robotic arms to put his armor on and take it off. He also has a couple of robot arms in his workspace that he built himself, who he refers to as "Dummy" and "You". It's implied that Dummy is the first robot he ever built, back when he was a kid. | |

Odd Squad: Oscar, the Lab Director of Precinct 13579's lab in Season 1, has his own twenty-five Oscarbots, Ridiculously Human Robots whose initial sole duty is to make the perfect juice box for Oprah. They can also transform into a Combining Mecha form for combat use, which Oscar activates on two occasions: to show Oprah (who welcomes another chance to fight something after her karate practice session), and to train Olive upon her promotion to Odd Squad Director of the precinct in the next town over. In addition, they also have chainsaws and the ability to fire laser beams for times when they're not in the Combining Mecha form. Season 2 introduces Oonabots, which are the Ridiculously Human Robots that Oona, Oscar's eventual replacement, builds. Although they're directly inspired by the Oscarbots, there are vast differences — she only builds three robots, their sole duty is to assist Oona around the lab with various tasks (and also dance with people), and they require more manual input, needing a person to type specific directions on where to go versus simply pressing a button on a remote. |

Magic: The Gathering: Urza and Mishra, the warring brothers who would spend much of the latter's life ravaging Dominaria with their mechanical armies. Urza, the "victor" of the apocalyptic conflict, would also create Karn, the silver golem, although being something of an Omnidisciplinary Scientist, his eventual weapons against Phyrexia were bioengineered warriors known as "Metathran". Tezzeret, the Seeker is one of the cleverest people in the series, and has a penchant for building automota, golems, and clockwork constructs, among other things. His cards can even turn your artifacts into robots to fight for you! Saheeli Rai is a technological genius from the plane of Kaladesh. Following the loss of her spark after "March of the Machine", she's settled down with her girlfriend Huatli, who she builds robot dinosaurs for as a kind of love language (a talent that greatly interests the Sun Empire government). |

This was likely a lot easier because it was left there to be repaired by humans so it could be a spy for the main computer. Still impressive considering the era she grew up in was in a late middle-ages technology level. | |

Contraptionology!: This happens a few times as the science-crazed Ponyvillians start getting hostile, but Twilight Sparkle takes the cake. In a bid to achieve immortality, she constructs a liquid-metal robot body to transplant her brain into. To up the ante further, she decides to test the robot to ensure that her magic will still work, so she loads it with all her magic capability and a programmed personality based on Trixie, her rival who hates her. And in case that wasn't enough goading fate, she then tells Robo-Trixie that she'll wipe her personality once the tests are done. | |

The Fantastic Four's leader Mister Fantastic is considerably smarter than Henry Pym, and he constantly builds all kinds of robots. Unfortunately, his just tend to just hang around as background detail. Well, he did build both his assistant bot(s) H.E.R.B.I.E. and the F.F.'s robot secretary Roberta — but just how sentient those two are is a major case of Depending on the Writer, though. | |

Code Lyoko: Jeremie Belpois, The Smart Guy and Mission Control of the Lyoko Warriors, is a Teen Genius with a preference for computers and robotics. A couple of episodes have had him creating robots as a solution to an obstacle, and the reason why he became involved in the whole mess (and dragged his future Fire-Forged Friends into it) was that he reactivated the supercomputer that held Lyoko (and XANA and his future friend Aelita) when he was looking for parts to use for his robotics projects on the abandoned factory near his school. | |
