When “Robby” talks, the mercury-vapor neon tubes in his mouth flash synchronously with his original voice as featured in “Forbidden Planet”.

The Gale Storm Show (1958) – season 3 episode "Robot from Inner Space", first aired December 13, 1958 Space Academy (1979) – episode "My Favorite Marcia". This program used the 'Cyclops' head variation previously seen on Project U.F.O..

When sci-fi shows like Captain Video and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet became childhood favourites in the early 1950s, so did sci-fi toys.Three engraved Acrylic discs, interlaced with hand-painted, hardened steel hoops, orbit in a planetary fashion, mounted on a motorized solid brass-bell housing with polished aluminum mounts and brass gears. Above the gyros is a hand-turned aluminum heat-sink and Acrylic lamp housing. In short, Robert The Robot was the Rolls Royce of robot toys. It also became a very popular toy, thanks to good distribution and appearance in Sears’ 1954 Wishbook. Project U.F.O. (1978) – season 1 episode "Sighting 4010: The Waterford Incident".

The arms spin around and the hands are static closed "u", and they also spin, but Robby was never known for poseability. There were many wind-up robots that just walked around, but there were also some really nifty robot toys that offer plenty of sci-fi excitement. Enter one Robert The Robot . . . The “Robby the Robot,” manufactured exclusively by Fred Barton Productions, Inc. of Los Angeles, California, and licensed through Tuner Entertainment, a Time/Warner Co, is a seven-foot tall, animatronic robot statue, as seen in “Forbidden Planet”.

Robby’s complex mechanisms are all hand-made by the finest machinists in the business. Only machine-grade metals such as brass, and aluminum were employed in the manufacture of these intricate Swiss-like movements. No cast resin or cheap plastic castings were used in any mechanism anywhere in the manufacture of the robot. These mechanisms are built to last and function exactly like those made for “Robby” by the MGM property masters of the fabulous fifties. This much authenticity and attention to detail is unparalleled in the world of movie-props, collectibles and studio-licensed products. The tall paraboloidal plexiglass dome that covered the head housed the detailed mechanisms representing Robby's electronic brain. These included a "pilot light" at the very top, an intricate apparatus terminating in three white wire-frame spheres that rotate in planetary fashion (representing his gyroscopic stabilizers), a pair of reciprocating arms in the shape of an inverted "V", multiple flashing lights, and an elaborate horizontal array of moving levers resembling saxophone keys. Conical protuberances attached to each side of the head carry two small forward-facing blinking lights (his eyes) and two rotating chromed rings, one mounted vertically and the other horizontally, which represent Robby's audio detectors (his ears). The bottom front section of the head is a curved grille consisting of parallel rows of thin blue neon tubes, which light up in voice synchronization when Robby speaks. This neon grille also enabled the operator to both see out and to breathe. The joint between the head and chest section was fitted with a custom-made bearing that allowed the head to rotate in either direction. Robby’s trademark vertical and horizontal scanners are direct drive and rotate as programmed at variable speeds.

Mosaic: An Interdisciplinary Critical Journal. University of Manitoba. 49 (3): 19–37. JSTOR 44030747 . Retrieved 7 March 2022.Robby was constructed using a range of materials including metal, plastic, rubber, glass, and Plexiglas. The plastic parts were a pioneering example of the use of the then novel technology of vacuum-forming heated plastic over wooden molds. These parts were made from an early form of ABS plastic with the brand name " Royalite", a material mainly used at the time for making suitcases. The finished Robby stands just over 7-foot (2.1m) tall and was fabricated in three detachable sections: the legs and lower torso, the barrel-like chest section (which included the arms), and the highly detailed head piece. Lonergan and Arnold “Buddy” Gillespie first directed their attention to the design of Robby the Robot because if was the most complex of the mechanical props required by the script, to be used extensively throughout the picture in scenes with the main actors. If Robby was not ready and working smoothly by the start of principal photography, the result would be costly production delays.
