9->''Housekeeping is repetitious and unnecessary drudgery; as an engineer, it offended me.\
10For the problem to be within the scope of one engineer, almost all of Flexible Frank had to be standard parts and must not involve any new principles...\
11Just what did I want Flexible Frank to do? Answer: any work a human being does around a house. He didn't have to play cards, make love, eat or sleep, but he did have to clean up after the card game, cook, make beds, and tend babies -- at least he had to keep track of a baby's breathing and call someone if it changes.''

14A maid made to order!

16Not to be confused with SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids (though there is some crossover), the Robot Maid (or Robot Butler) is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin -- a {{robot}}, {{ridiculously human|Robots}} or not, whose primary functions lie in performing household chores. They cook, clean house and look after your dog with precision. Whether or not they look human, they almost always have sophisticated A.I. -- nobody bothers to ask why you're programming [[MundaneUtility super-intelligent robots to do housework]], but it's [[RuleOfCool cool enough]] that it gets a pass. Of course, it could just be that being a maid is only said robot's day job -- it might [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids have a plethora of other, more crime-fighty functions]].
17
18Bonus points if they're [[RobotGirl young, female,]] and very, very sexy. Even more so if they actually [[{{Meido}} wear]] the [[FrenchMaid outfit]].
19
20Interestingly, the word "robot" in itself comes from a phrase meaning "someone who does manual labor" and was coined in ''Theatre/{{RUR}}'', a Czech play [[OlderThanTelevision written in the 1920s]].

29* The title character of ''Anime/AzusaWillHelp'' is a robot maid bought on the cheap to be a baseball player.

33* In the ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' episode "¥€$," Android maids patrol inside the mansion of the millionaire Kanemoto Yokose. They also act as security, as they have weapons systems hidden inside their bodies, but this doesn't help them deter either Motoko and the Tachikoma or the assassin Fem. They continue to carry out their duties, completely unaware [[spoiler:that their owner has long since passed away in his bed]].
34* Zero is a robot maid who serves the cute alien girls' invasion company in ''Anime/GOnRiders''.

36* ''Literature/ImTheEvilLordOfAnIntergalacticEmpire'': Amagi is an ArtificialIntelligence who serves as Liam's ParentalSubstitute, {{Sexbot}}, and prime minister all in one. The reason Amagi has all of those capabilities is due to the tendency of FeudalFuture nobles to dump their domains on their children in ParentalAbandonment while they move to the luxurious capital CityPlanet, and Liam’s parents let him pick so he chose the most expensive one. Amagi struggles with self-esteem issues due to the social stigma against A.I.
37* Ruri from ''Literature/IfHerFlagBreaks'' is a Robot Maid. She's also an example of SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids.

She is a highly advanced, {{Magitek}} [=MagiDoll=] so advanced she's physically indistinguishable from a human and can consume food normally. Her personality, however, is incredibly stiff, professional, and painfully blunt at times, as you'd expect from someone who can only ever think in strict logic.
42* Aiko from ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'' is not explicitly a maid, but she does wears a {{Meido}} dress and she's the one who cooks.
43* The heroine of ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}'' is an android super soldier who chooses to spend her last year of remaining battery life as a maid so she can serve the son of her late commander.
44* Mina from ''Manga/MyWifeHasNoEmotion'' can do housework, but being a model made for cooking, she only does cooking-related tasks. There's a "domestic plugin" available that would improve her ability with domestic tasks and turn off the perpetually looping advert for the plugin when she tries a non-cooking related task.
45* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Evangeline has a group of {{Robot Girl}}s around for the purpose of serving food and keeping her villa clean. The most prominent is [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids Karakuri Chachamaru]], who also serves as Eva's NinjaMaid.

50* Noel of ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever''.
51* The eponymous character of ''Manga/UselessPonko'', who's not much good at her supposed function, being a habitual bungler. Her current master's not fussed on that score, because he feels he doesn't need any housekeeping done; if he has to have a robot maid, he wants a useless one.
52[[/folder]]
53
54[[folder:Audio Plays]]
55* In ''AudioPlay/{{Starboard}}'' the character Chauncy is a male example, a snarky robotic butler and chauffeur.

59* A future-themed ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' story replaced Alfred Pennyworth with a robot.
60* ''ComicBook/TheDandy'' used to have a story called Tin Lizzie, about a robot maid and a robot butler called Brassribs.
61* Somewhat {{deconstruct|ion}}ed in a Disney Comics story where Gyro Gearloose makes a fortune selling a series of robots, each tailored to a specific household chore (such as a gardening robot, a cleaning robot, a laundry robot, a cooking robot, etc). When he is asked why not a single Robot Maid, he replies that individual household chores require substantial specialization not possible with a generic robot and this approach has the added bonus of being able to accomplish several tasks at once. Unfortunately, said robots also consume a huge amount of power and the sheer demand causes the price of electricity to spike and all the robots to be returned, restoring the status quo.
62* The ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' have a robot receptionist named Roberta. In the non-canonical ''Fin Fang Four'' stories, she's the girlfriend of shrunken-giant-robot Elektro. It's very cute.

68* Irona, the robot maid of ''ComicBook/RichieRich''.
69* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'' had a ''steam powered'' robot butler whose speech came from ''wax cylinder recordings'' of his father: Pneuman, short for Pneumatic Man. He's actually a little bit older than the 100-year-old Tom. He was always bickering with Tom's intelligent monkey caddy Solomon, who serves a decidedly similar function.
70* The ''ComicBook/XMen'' had Nanny, who sported a maid outfit in most incarnations. She took her job too seriously.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Comic Strips]]
74* In ''ComicStrip/MadamAndEve'', the Andersons try to replace Eve with a [=RoboMaid=] 2000. [[https://madamandeve.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/madam-and-eve-archive.cgi?shown=7&comic=840 Things don't go as planned.]]
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Fan Works]]
78* Robojeeves the robot butler in ''WebAnimation/{{Ducktalez}} 6''. He even has the stereotype of having Jeeves in his name.
79* Doris Sturm, one of Circe's maids in ''[[Fanfic/TheZeroContextSeries Zero Context: Taking Out the Trash]]'', was transformed at some point into a lookalike of [[VideoGame/MegaManZX Pandora]], complete with armor, staff and all the internal hardware she would need to live life and go about her business. Her existence as a living machine is briefly lampshaded by Claire when she sees her drinking some sparkling water.

94* "Flexible Frank", the non-humanoid housekeeping robot in Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/TheDoorIntoSummer''.

106[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
107* An episode of ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' has the family buying a robot butler ("played" by famous Robby robot from ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet'') much to Lurch’s jealousy. HilarityEnsues.
108* ''Series/ComeBackMrsNoah''. In "The Housing Problem", the crew are allocated their quarters which include a robot butler, but TheCaptain and his NumberTwo get the luxury quarters which have both a robot butler and a robot maid; the latter has a SupermodelStrut and a FrenchMaidOutfit but can [[BrainlessBeauty only think of one thing at a time]]. Like all the other technology on the station she doesn't work as well as she should; when told to "remove the top" of a tin of jam, the robot maid [[FanserviceExtra starts to remove her clothes]] instead.
109* A robot butler arrives to the island in one episode of ''Series/GilligansIsland'' becoming very useful in the process and the key for their escape from the island, but sadly [[JustEatGilligan Gilligan causes the robot to malfunction]].
110* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' has Janet, ArtificialIntelligence who appears to be a human woman. She possesses all the knowledge in the universe, and can materialize any object-- these powers to be intended to aid the humans in the [[{{Heaven}} Good Place]].

116* Kryten from ''Series/RedDwarf''. (The fact that his mental abilities go far beyond the cleaning and catering duties for which he was built is sort-of noticed by the crew in series 8, but they put it down to a malfunction.)
117* Vicky in ''Series/SmallWonder'' is a little girl android made by the father of the family and she’s basically also the maid although they make her pass as their daughter. This come in play in an episode when they noisy neighbors where about to call Social Services when they find out they make her work in choirs all day.
118* ''Series/WhodunnitUK'': In "Future Imperfect" (set in the year 2076), the family possesses a robot servant called Mister Seven [[spoiler:who is reprogrammed to murder the head of the family]].
119[[/folder]]

121[[folder:Music]]
122* Music/JonathanCoulton's song "Todd the T1000" is about a guy who feels threatened by his robot butler.
123-->''Todd the T1000 scares me\

125And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me\
126And when I look over he is making a fist''
127* Music/{{Hawkwind}}'s ''Spirit of the Age'', nominating the shortcomings of a different sort of robot maid:

130Is that the spirit of the age?\
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Radio]]
134* Subverted with Tidy in ''Radio/{{Earthsearch}}'', a cleaning android who is ''constantly'' complaining about how humans keep making a mess in the first place, driving the human protagonists to frustration. They can't afford to get rid of Tidy as (thanks to the intelligence and dexterity required for its job) Tidy makes a useful DoAnythingRobot (which Tidy [[NotInMyContract isn't happy about either]]).
135* ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1978'' tells the cautionary tale of what happened on the planet Brontitall, where the human(oid) inhabitants realized they'd devolved too much power to robot servants, were almost nothing without them, and rebelled against the machines, rounding up all their servant robots so as to exile them to a penal planet where they would be kept gainfully employed knitting "continent toupees" for planets that had denuded all their rainforest. The sound-picture is painted of bewildered robots asking if they have failed in some way and not pleased their human masters, have they not Shared and Enjoyed, what can they do to put it right, as their captors whip them into line for exile.
136[[/folder]]
137
138[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
139* ''TabletopGame/BigEyesSmallMouth'' has a "Robot Maid" template. It's got a number of upsides... but it also comes with the "Owned" disadvantage.
140* ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' adventure ''The Island of Dr. Destroyer''. The title character's secret base has cleaning robots.
141* ''TabletopGame/DCHeroes'' has a maintenance robot called the Clyde that can perform mediocre housekeeping.
142* Any RobotGirl in ''TabletopGame/MaidRPG'' will be one due to the nature of the game. Robot Butlers are also possible.
143* ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}:'' Alpha Complex is kept clean by an army of scrubots. Being quite common makes them a frequent target for player hijinx, or an easy encounter for [=GMs=] to throw at a party.
144* Robot Maids are one of the many forms of robots available in ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}''.
145* ''TabletopGame/TopSecret'': The "Dr. Yes" module in Magazine/{{Dragon}} #48 had the Bernie, a hemispherical robot that could act as a vacuum cleaner, trash compactor, and stereo. It could also mop and wax the floor.
146* Classic ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'': Robots could have a Valet program that allowed them to act as maids. The adventure "Research Station Gamma" had maintenance (cleaning) robots.
147* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' has servitors, while [[{{Cyborg}} technically not robots]], fulfill the same role. Like all other tropes, [=40K=] takes this trope [[DarkerAndEdgier to a dark place]]. Most servitors are convicted criminals, vat grown, or individuals that are part of an institution that has deemed them no longer useful (through injuries, ethical shortcomings, or unable to meet basic requirements), and then large sections of the brain and often other parts of the body are [[UnwillingRoboticisation replaced with cybernetics]], erasing the individual and leaving a passive, compliant laborer incapable of using higher functions. The Imperium has these things everywhere, built for any conceivable purpose, since robots and simple [=AIs=] are in short supply since they're heavily regulated after humanity's [[RobotWar historical experiences]].
148[[/folder]]
149
150[[folder:Theme Parks]]
151* The former ''Ride/{{Horizons}}'' ride at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Epcot]] had a robot butler that could be seen vacuuming the floors. ''Ride/SpaceMountain'' at Magic Kingdom also features a robot butler in its post-show, as a tribute to the closed attraction.

153
154[[folder:Video Games]]
155* The eponymous robot from ''VideoGame/ChibiRobo'' is a very, very ''tiny'' Robot Maid.
156* The new Clockwork robots in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' are essentially this for the whole of Praetoria and can often seen vacuuming parks and streets, or carrying heavy supplies for building. Of course, they are armed to the teeth should the pesky trouble maker try to pick a fight with them.
157* In ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman'', Android servants are evidently very commonplace and are somehow affordable for people who should otherwise be in poverty. Two of the protagonists start off as servants, with Kara serving a drug-addicted slob while Markus cares for an aging handicapped retiree.
158* The "Mister Handy"-style robots in the ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' franchise fill this role. You can even get one yourself when you get your own house in ''VideoGame/Fallout3''. He doesn't like you very much, but he's [[DeadpanSnarker usually]] good at hiding it.
159** ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' introduces its militarized variant, the Mr. Gutsy. Complete with DrillSergeantNasty persona.
160** In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', your Mister Handy Codsworth waited for you at your house for 210 years while you were [[HumanPopsicle having a nice nap in a nearby Vault]]. When you come back, [[AbsurdlyDedicatedWorker the first thing he does is offer to cook you dinner]]. He can also become one of your followers.
161** The game also introduced the "Miss Nanny" class of robots, the DistaffCounterpart to the Mister Handies.
162* ''[=GUNBare=]!'' ''VideoGame/GameTengoku'''s fifth level boss is a giant mecha in the form of a cute robot maid.

164* Li'l Miss Marshmallow in ''VideoGame/Mother3'' is Porky's Robot Maid, and an OptionalBoss.
165** After his accident on the Thunder Tower, Fassad (you may also know him as Yokuba) gets a robot translator, seeing as his mouth is stuffed with trumpets on his "reassembly".
166* When you present her the maid uniform to equip, Aigis of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' clearly states that it's the one she already wore before at the lab. In other words, the super-powerful battle android that she is also acted as an obedient maid servant before you found her (and can continue so even afterward).
167** While we're on the subject of ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', Mary from ''VideoGame/SoulHackers'', who was built as Dr. Victor's assistant, complete with a maid outfit.
168* In ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', one of the "Maid" trainers you fight in the Battle Chateau speaks like one.
169--> '''Julia:''' "I WAS CREATED SOLELY TO DO BATTLE..."
170* ''VideoGame/TheSims2: Open for Business'' allows talented Sims to creates Servos and imprint them with their personalities. An active Servo autonomously cleans, gardens, repairs broken household items and cooks, often desserts. Your Sims will get fat, and you may also get a craving for berry pie.
171* ''VideoGame/TheSims3'':
172** [=SimBots=] in the ''Ambissions'' expansion are essentially a more primitive version of the Servos, and can fill the same purposes.
173** Plumbots in ''Into the Future'' are instead a more advanced version. When first created they are incapable of doing much of anything, but with the appropriate trait chips installed they can act as a maid.
174* In ''VideoGame/TheSpectrumRetreat'', all the staff in the Penrose Hotel are robos, up to and including the manager.
175* In ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'', robots can be given the "Domestic Protocols" trait, allowing them to be employed as servants and granting a bonus to amenities generated by them.
176* Francis in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' has [=MeowMaids=], ''[[MegaNeko giant cat]]'' {{Robot Maid}}s.
177* The 3rd PC-98 ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' game, ''VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream'', gave Reimu a nuclear-powered robotic maid named Ruukoto.
178** The related ''VideoGame/{{Seihou}}'' games star the robot maid VIVIT. Well, [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids advanced combat android]] ReplacementGoldfish that works as a maid, anyway.
179* Tesse from ''VideoGame/WakuWaku7'' is, well, a robot maid who serves her creator, "The Doctor".
180* Poppi from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' fits this trope to a tee, having been programmed with a setting likely meant to pander towards Tora's maid fetish (He keeps a batch of maid costumes in his closet for when she awakened). [[spoiler: The maid aspect becomes even more apparent when you unlock her other forms.]] She has an older "sister", Lila, who served as her prototype and fits the maid motif even more, while ArcVillain Bana used Lila's blueprints to create a SuperDeformed HumongousMecha version of her known as Rosa (or as her creator puts it, '''[[ChewingTheScenery GIGANTIC ARTIFICIAL BLADE]] [[TrrrillingRrrs RRRRRRRRRRRROSA]]''').
181[[/folder]]
182
183[[folder:Webcomics]]
184* In addition to the canon ''Mega Man'' example of Roll, in ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', her 'brothers' Proto Man, Mega Man, and X were all designed to be a cross between butler and maid.
185* The Android Nannies, or 'Nandroids', in ''Webcomic/EmmyTheRobot'' are developed as caretaker units for families.
186* The furry comic ''[[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7953415 O, Robot!]]'' starts with the purchase of a robot vixen maid whose owner names her "Robota" and initially uses her to clean the house and fetch cheetos, then his [[RoboSexual technophilic]] girlfriend starts tinkering with her.
187* Some of the Chibi style [=AnthroPCs=] in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' are designed with limited housekeeping abilities.
188* In ''Webcomic/SaffronAndSage'', Cinnamon has a robot servant named Toast who is only capable of saying "Awoo". Despite this, [[IntelligibleUnintelligible Cinnamon can still understand her]]. Also, according to Cinnamon, Toast isn't a robot but actually a {{Golem}}.
189[[/folder]]
190
191[[folder:Web Original]]
192* ''WebVideo/{{Kara}}'': "Hello. I am the third generation [=AX400=] Android. I can look after your house, do the cooking, mind the kids..."
193* As well as being a SexSlave, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's robot also dries dishes and makes coffee for her. [[spoiler:He ''hates'' it.]]
194* ''Ask Dr. Eldritch'' has Helen, the Doctor's "housekeeper". The Doctor insists that she's not a {{Sexbot}} -- just ignore the fact that he openly sleeps with her.
195[[/folder]]
196
197[[folder:Western Animation]]
198* [[BigBad Cladestino]] has a robot butler named Sylicone in ''WesternAnimation/TheBluffers''.
199* Principal Scudworth has a Series/MrBelvedere-like robot named Mr. Butlertron in ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''. He refers to everyone as “Wesley”.

201* Rosie from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' may not be the UrExample, but she's undeniably done [[TropeCodifier a lot for the idea]].
202* Charles in ''WesternAnimation/NeoYokio'' is Kaz's robot butler and accompanies him on many of his missions. [[spoiler:Subverted in that Charles isn't actually a robot, but a mecha piloted by a small British woman.]]
203* Robi from ''WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue''.
204[[/folder]]
205
206[[folder: Real Life ]]
207* RealLife: The Roomba is a computerized, automated, programmable vacuum cleaner that cleans carpets all on its own. [[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15721606 One can purchase costumes, including french maid costumes, to fit to such robots.]]
208* ''[=MaSiRo=] Project'' has been in development since 2018. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C33JQVZBuY Here]] is the development video and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-GKwqTxtS8 here]] is a demonstration video of how it's supposed to work in a maid robot cafe.
