'automaton' is the definition.

This is all the 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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, The Irish Times, the Penny Press, The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Times.
