Robot Names: 150+ Cool, Funny, Best Robot Names of all times!‍

The Best Robots of All Time

1. WALL - E

All best robot lists are incomplete without WALL-E. WALL-E, which is short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class, is one of the examples where long descriptive definitions turn into short, adorable nicknames. WALL-E is the last robot stuck in the wasteland that is the Earth. Left all lonely he finds EVE and falls in love. There begins a tale of two robots heading into space. WALL-E has all the qualities that we love in a robot. A little inquisitive, with loads of curiosity and a golden mechanical heart!

2. R2D2

Balancing the personality of the know-it-all that is C-3PO, R2D2 is the smart and spunky droid we all needed. Only with the beep sounds, R2D2 proved that good characters can build a connection without emoting or speaking in English.

3. HAL 9000

HAL 9000 from Space Odyssey was the onboard computer on the spaceship Discovery, who turns out to be the main antagonist of the 2001 movie. HAL is starkly different from friendly, adorably robots. This Ego-centric robot marked the first all-knowing machine that has capabilities beyond our imagination.

4. Data

Lieutenant Commander Data is a self-aware, sapient, male android. Being only one of his kind, the android has great ambitions to become human. But in spite of being rigid and a vastly serious character, Data has still managed to become one of our favorites, thanks to Dr. Soong!

5. Dante II

What humans can't do, robots can. Carnegie Mellon’s Dante II was the first successful terrestrial explorer robot. The heroic endeavors of Dante are not unheard of but the robot didn't get the happiest ending.

6. ASIMO

ASIMO is the cool bot from our childhood. The Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, long for ASIMO, has the coolest moves and the hand symbols simply rock.

7. K9

K9 is the fictional robotic canine from Doctor Who. Like any dog, this dog robot is the perfect companion that might seem harmless, but actually has a scary laser weapon hidden in its eye. 

8. The Terminator

The indestructible robotic assassin Terminator has given all of us nightmares. With all muscles and a single determination to kill, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator is everything that we love and fear!

9. Optimus Prime

Opium Prime is the epitome of cool. There are friendly robots, scary robots and then robots that can turn themselves into trucks. 

10. Da Vinci Surgical System

Da Vinci surgical system with its four robotic arms is a real-life rockstar. The machine performs operations that are minimally invasive and is operated by a surgeon through a console. The Da Vinci surgical robot marks a huge advancement in surgical robotic technology.

Things to consider while naming a Robot

Comparing the robot names from the past century can give you valuable insights into the evolution of robot names, their common characteristics, and different types of names. It can be difficult to name your machine, but following some basic rules will definitely take you a long way.

1. Robots are complex machines that have dynamic functions. Hence most robot names are Acronyms to long descriptive names. For example, HAL 9000 stands for Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer. 
2. To create a cool Acronym for your robot, first, try to define its primary function. Once you have the long name, simply abbreviate it. For example, EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) makes for a cute name and is also an Acronym. 
3. Another way to select really cool robot names is through puns. For example, K9 is a great name for a robot dog. 
4. For most machine enthusiasts, robots are their best friends. If you are one of those people, giving your robot a human name will probably be best.

If you are still confused and need a little more help to come up with the best robot names, below is a list of name suggestions we have compiled for you.
