Automaton (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

robot

golem

'automaton' is the definition.
(I know that automaton can be written as robot)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for robot that I've seen before include "Automated machine" , "Android, possibly" , "Automation" , "Humanoid machine" , "Computer-controlled machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, The Irish Times, The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Independent, the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
