See for "The Robot": "The Robot is a Class M-3 Model B9, General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, which had no given name. Although a machine endowed with superhuman strength and futuristic weaponry, he often displayed human characteristics, such as laughter, sadness, and mockery, as well as singing and playing a guitar. [...] The Robot was designed by Robert Kinoshita, who was also the designer of the iconic Robby the Robot for Forbidden Planet." If not Robby himself — and The Robot is gendered male — then the Lost in Space robot is a mechanical/cybernetic clone or close relative. Tag-line for Robot, "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!" — protecting the boy (significantly). Cf. and contrast LOST IN SPACE (film).
