The First Millennia
The first robots were crude beings created by humanity to hеlp with a variety of tasks. The earliest of these robots were created at the end of the 29th century. Over the course of the next century, robots would come to be a part of Earth culture, to the extent that by 3000, academic institutions offered the subject of Robo-American Studies. Throughout the centuries robots remained "slow moving, stiff, and a little on the uptight side." But on October 17th, 2928, Hubert J. Farnsworth, working...
Environmental Consequences
The modern robot is fueled by alcohol and gives off greenhouse gasses primarily through flaming burps, which eventually drove Earth to the brink of destruction via global warming. Though President Nixon and Dr. Ogden Wernstrom plotted to destroy all robots to save the Planet, the Earth was saved when Hubert had all the robots vent their gases straight up at once, thereby moving Earth further from the Sunand cooling it.
The Future of Earth's Robots
In 3004 Mom's Friendly Robot Company released a new model of robot known as Robot 1-X. Unlike earlier models, Robot 1-X doesn't malfunction and has a more friendly personality. Perhaps in response to the near destruction of Earth by robot-generated greenhouse gases earlier that year, Robot 1-X also ran on pollution and emitted fresh oxygen. The shift to the new model was neither immediate nor easy: many existing robots needed to have their programming upgraded to be compatible with the new mo...
Although robots differ in their composition and function, there are several generalizations that can be made that applies to many robots:
Vice
Like any society, robots have many vices that certain segments of the population engage in. Examples of such vices include: robot porn, stripperbots, hookerbots, as well as the smoking of cigars and/or cigarettes (to look cool).
Spark
An analog to drugs for robots which is illegal to possess or use. In appearance it is similar to a crack pipe with a plasma globe on the end. Its use has a tendency to cause a robot's eyes to turn red.
Religion
Robots also have organized religion, but it is unclear how widespread these beliefs are. It's known that there are "good books." It is also known that a preacher is Reverend Lionel Preacherbot.
Fembots
A Fembotis a female version of a robot.
Children Robots
While robots generally age quite rapidly by human standards (Bender aged in hours for example, another being his son Ben, who ages at 364.2 times faster than a human ), some robots remain children for longer periods of time (such as Tinny Tim). It is unclear why robots would need children besides child actors, but they continue to be built just the same.
Robotic Variations By Function
Robots have expanded beyond their original programming to fulfill many functions, some of which would not seem to need to be fulfilled (such as homeless robots or criminal units). The following is a short list of different functions or occupation that robots fulfill as well as three or four examples.
―Robot 1-X. Robot 1-X was an upgraded version of regular robots. It, unlike other robots, took in pollution and breathed out pure oxygen, with a pine scent. It was also far more obedient and intelligent than other robots, and did jobs without complaining.

- Bender Bending Rodriquez. After getting electrocuted when his antenna hit a light bulb socket, Bender joined Planet Express with Fry. He provides numerous essential services to the crew, including heavy lifting and bending.
- Calculon. Originally a crane working as a car manufacturer, Calculon (LaMarche) was turned into a were-car by Project Satan (Herman), the world's evilest car.
- The Robot Devil. As the ruler of Robot Hell, it is the job of the Robot Devil (Dan Castellaneta) to punish any followers of Robotology who succumb to sin.
- Roberto. For some reason, a team of engineers decided to build a wild robot. The result was Roberto (David Herman), who gleefully commits crimes against the people of New New York.
Robots in Futurama seem to exist in conflict with the idea of form and function - to which present day industrial design strives. In the year circa 3000 robots consume high volumes of resources (Calculon's luxury Bel-air home) and inhabit land (Robot Arms Apartments).
