Ok, define what you mean by "underutilize"

Because I could probably name DOZENS of cartoon robots

The japs use plenty of robots in their animations.

>The Iron Giant
>that maid robot from the Jetsons
>BEN from Treasure Planet
>Bender
>the ENTIRETY of the Transformers franchise and all its cartoons
I don't know about you OP, but I think there are plenty of robots in animation at the moment, and that's only to name a few.

>>81380027
>no one in animation at all has so much as even RECOGNIZED them.

How do you even come up with a statement this wrong?

There's an entire board on this site dedicated to animated robots.

Not animated robots.
Actual ones, from real life.
When's the last time you've seen Atlas animated?

Ok, I see. You want cartoons based on real life robots.

...I guess South Park's "Awesome-O" episode?

The one's in real life are lame though. They can't think or do sick maneuvers in space with beam swords or transform into jet planes.

No, but they will fuck your shit right up.

Yes, they made something that can walk on two legs well. That's cool and shows we've gotten a lot better at this stuff. But what on earth would you make an animation of this about? It's not like the robot is sentient.

Most fiction with robots involves not what we currently have, but what might be possible in the future, because that's more fun to think about.

>Robots are underutilized in animation
You mean western animation
