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