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 Evening Standard, The Times, The Star Tribune, The Independent, The Mirror, The Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, the LA Times and The Guardian.
