This psychic link is probably the reason that Will is able to command Robot and also feels such a bond with him. He is able to see through the Robot's eyes the attack on the Resolute and see Robot's involvement. Robot's face lights turn from blue to red and as Will is also touching the metal, it seems to establish a psychic link between him and Robot. When he touches the metal, something happens. Struggling to get it, Will is assisted by the Robot, who presses on the metal arch to raise the other end. It goes well until the ball rolls under a piece of metal. During this waiting period, Will finds a baseball in his backpack (apparently placed there by his dad) and teaches the Robot to play catch. Once at the ship, Maureen and John go inside, leaving Will and Robot outside. Maureen implores her son to have the Robot lead them back to the ship despite John's reservations. The sound is coming from Robot's downed ship. While exploring, John hears a strange sound on the radio and Will tells him that he recognizes the sound from his time spent in the forest. She comments that these are behaviors which help to build trust.

When Maureen questions this, John says,'You don't get one without the other.' Maureen indicates that she trusts the Robot, because it saved both her son and daughter and is helping the family with the ship. John, not wanting to leave the Robot on the ship only with his daughters, invites Will to join him and his mother. Later, John and Maureen head off to look for survivors of other Jupiter ships. At one point, John walks to Robot and questions what it is. The Robot works to dry the top levels of the family's ship. Working together, pumps are put in place and water levels lower throughout the ship. The following morning, Robot goes to the frozen ice and heating its body descends to the Jupiter 2. Again, the Robot holds out his hands and keeps the Robinson family warm all night long (mentioned earlier, the temperature will be at least -60). He asks if the Robot can do something to keep them from freezing. Once the family is huddled together, hugging Judy, Will asks for another favor. Once fully melted, he reaches in and pulls Judy out, freeing her from the ice. The Robot holds his hands over the hole the family has dug and heats the surrounding ice (presumably with what were once hand lasers). He then asks the Robot if he will help to free his trapped sister. Will runs down exclaiming it is ok and the Robot will not hurt them. John, initially assuming the Robot has hostile intent, holds a knife guarding his family. Robot then appears at the top of the hill, walking down towards the sunken Jupiter 2 ship, where the Robinson family is frantically working on freeing Judy from the ice.

Robot takes on a human-like appearance in an effort not to scare Will. His face lights have also turned blue at this time indicating a more passive temperament. He then morphs into a humanoid shape, so as to not be as threatening toward Will. Robot holds out his 3 fingered limb to Will and scans the boy. Once safely away, Robot and Will assess one another. Moments later a fully connected Robot climbs up the tree, takes Will into his arms and carries him to safety. Without hope, Will uses a string saw to cut the limb, allowing the upper and lower halves of Robot to be reunited. A fire springs up all around Will and Robot. Robot is initially hostile towards Will (with his face lights colored red), but soon seems to lose energy and is dying. Will climbs a tree to get away from the unknown creature (the lower half of Robot), only to find himself next to the upper half on the tree limb. We first meet Robot on the ship, Resolute, where he is attacking humans.Īfter Will Robinson is separated from his father and wanders into the forest, he comes across Robot's ship, as well as Robot's lower half. Robot later detected Scarecrow on the Resolute, so he took his ship and went to the Resolute to rescue him and get his engine. At some point in time he was friends with Scarecrow and when he crashed on Earth he was heartbroken. What we do know, is that he was born on the Shattered planet at one of its cites.

It's also unknown what year he was built. Robot was built by another alien race, known as the Robot Builders, who all went extinct after SAR dropped an alien engine on their planet which acted as a bomb.
