Programmable machine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robot

'programmable machine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for robot that I've seen before include "Automation" , "Computer-driven entity" , "Automaton or sci-fi creature" , "Soulless worker" , "Factory worker, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
