Such was the impact of the Transformer when the toy line was introduced in 1984, spawning decades of TV shows, movies, and comic books. Robots that turn into giant trucks and command a fleet of autobots - now that could change pop culture history. Robots that turn into giant trucks - way cool. First deployed in Afghanistan in 2002, it's now on active cannon-fodder duty in Iraq. Carried on a soldier's back, it can be tossed into a building or under a car, where it will assess the situation (or maybe just be blown up). PACKBOTS From the creators of the Roomba comes a kick-ass droid for the US military. Of course, its real claim to fame was as a sweet prize on the '80s videogame quiz show Starcade. RB5X can be programmed to speak, navigate a room, and perform such simple tasks as retrieving small objects. RB5X It hit store shelves in 1985, and this first-ever mass-produced home robot kit is still sold today. CRAIG MAXWELL, STYLED BY SHANNON AMOS/ARTIST UNTIED 38. It can find its docking station, recognize its owner's face, and respond to voice commands. Introduced in 1999, AIBO is one of the most sophisticated toys on the market. It's actually an advanced piece of robotics that won't fetch a tennis ball. SONY AIBO Think this is a hunk of plastic that won't fetch a tennis ball? Think again. Funded by European Commission, Future and Emerging Technologies programme 39. Marco Dorigo, SWARM-BOTS project coordinator. Kinda like ants on roller skates … in a conga line. Each s-Bot is fully independent, but get a bunch in a room together and they'll form a chain to carry heavy payloads or bridge obstacles.

S-BOTS An ongoing project of the EU's Future and Emerging Technologies program, these minibuggies show strength in numbers.

The next year Barnett gave the hulking android a best friend: a robotic dog that seemed to bark and sit in response to Elektro's commands. ELEKTRO AND SPARKO Westinghouse engineer Joseph Barnett made a splash at the 1939 World's Fair with a 7-foot, cable-controlled metal man that could walk, speak 77 words, and even smoke cigarettes (so debonair). Alas, like the Spruce Goose, they weren't financially viable. In 1960 Hughes Aircraft unleashed these industrial machines for use in hazardous material sites - teleoperators controlled the snaking appendages. MOBOTS What would you get if Robby the Robot got busy with a Mars rover? Probably something like the Mobots. But by the late '40s, the tin tykes had spread from Japan to the US, earning a spot in toy history alongside teddy bears and fire trucks. It couldn't do much - the legs would walk, causing the arms to swing. Among the first was Lilliput, a windup walker from the 1930s. LILLIPUT TOY ROBOT Before there were real robots, there were toy robots. The success of this Trans-Am helped to usher in a new genre of show with supervehicles as heroes, from Airwolf to Stealth. KITT The smooth-talking, self-driving muscle car from the early '80s TV drama Knight Rider was so cool, it even upstaged David Hasselhoff.

Leonardo can grab objects, make facial expressions and complex gestures, and even learn simple tasks (like turning lights on and off) through trial and error.

LEONARDO AHer newest creation, Leonardo, was bolted together in 2002 with the help of the movie monster gurus at Stan Winston Studio (their animatronics include the Terminator, the aliens in Aliens, and the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park). DAN FORBES, STYLED BY SHANNON AMOS/ARTIST UNTIED 50. The fact that it looks like Boba Fett? Lucky coincidence. Robonaut is the same size and shape as a person in a space suit, so it can handle tasks typically performed by humans - its hands are even better articulated than an astronaut's gloved digits. This android will one day work alongside people on space stations. ROBONAUT Not all NASA robots drive around poking at rocks.
