Robots of: The 1960s (A Gallery)


The great decade of the Space Age -- the 1960's -- is also the great age of TV robots, in particular.

This epoch brought us multiple "guest appearances" by Robby the Robot on The Twilight Zone (1959-1963), and introduced us to many more mechanical friends, including the Jetsons' maid, Rosie, and the "bubble headed booby" from Lost in Space (1965-1968).
