* The titular robot from ''VideoGame/ChibiRobo'' is a very, very ''tiny'' Robot Maid.
* Francis in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' has [=MeowMaids=], ''[[MegaNeko giant cat]]'' {{Robot Maid}}s.

* Roll in the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' games was designed to be one of these for Dr Light.
* Tesse from ''VideoGame/WakuWaku7'' is, well, a robot maid who serves her creator, "the Doctor."

* 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.]]

* The new Clockwork robots in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' are essentially this for the whole of Praetoria and can often seen vaccuming 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.
* The "Mister Handy" style robots in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' fill this role. You can even get one yourself when you get your own house. He doesn't like you very much, but he's [[DeadpanSnarker usually]] good at hiding it.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', 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.
** The game also introduced the "Miss Nanny" class of robots, the DistaffCounterpart to the Mister Handies.
* 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).
** 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.

* In ''VideoGame/TheSpectrumRetreat'', all the staff in the Penrose Hotel are robos, up to and including the manager.

* 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.

* 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.
* The Android Nannies, or 'Nandroids', in ''Webcomic/EmmyTheRobot'' are developed as caretaker units for families.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode, "Metal Attraction", Gyro invents a robot duck maid named Robotica. Unfortunately she's ''way'' too emotional and gets a crush on Gizmoduck that reaches {{Yandere}} levels.
* [[BigBad Cladestino]] has a robot butler named Sylicone in ''WesternAnimation/TheBluffers''.
* Principal Scudworth has a Series/MrBelvedere-like robot named Mr. Butlertron in ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''. He refers to everyone as “Wesley”.

* 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]].

* The eponymous character of ''Useless Ponko'', 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.
* Mina from ''My Wife Has No Emotion'' 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.

* Irona, the robot maid of ''ComicBook/RichieRich''.

* ''ComicBook/TomStrong'' had a ''steam powered'' robot butler whose speech came from ''wax cylinder recordings'' of his father: Pneuman, short for Pneumatic Man.

He was always bickering with Tom's [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys intelligent monkey caddy]] Solomon, who serves a decidedly similar function.

* The ComicBook/XMen had Nanny, who sported a maid outfit in most incarnations. She took her job too seriously.

* [[spoiler:Kyoko]] from ''Film/ExMachina'' performs the housekeeping duties of a maid, and is in fact a robot.
* French/Italian film ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_and_I Catherine and I]]'' is about a businessman whose macho attitude causes him problems with women. One day he buys a robot maid (the titular Catherine) and is so satisfied with her that he tells his wife, lover and (human) maid to get lost. Unfortunately Catherine starts to act jealous towards him...

* Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/TheBicentennialMan": Andrew was purchased from US Robots to act as a valet and housekeeper for the Martin family household, including childcare. Even as the children grew up and left the home, he continued his tasks until grandchildren began to appear, at which point he asked to purchase his freedom.

* 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.)
* The ''Series/NightGallery'' episode "You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore" involves a couple buying and abusing a robot maid.

* ''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]].

* 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.

* 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.
* 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]].

* 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]]).

* ''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.
* Any RobotGirl in ''TabletopGame/MaidRPG'' will be one due to the nature of the game. Robot Butlers are also possible.
* ''TabletopGame/BigEyesSmallMouth'' has a "Robot Maid" template. It's got a number of upsides... but it also comes with the "Owned" disadvantage.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' adventure ''The Island of Dr. Destroyer''. The title character's secret base has cleaning robots.
* Robot Maids are one of the many forms of robots available in ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}''.
* ''TabletopGame/DCHeroes'' has a maintenance robot called the Clyde that can perform mediocre housekeeping.
* TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 has servitors, while [[{{Cyborg}} technically not robots]], fulfill the same role. Like all other tropes, [=40K=] takes this trope UpToEleven and [[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]].

* In ''WebComic/SaffronAndSage'' Cinnamon has 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}}.

* As well as being a SexSlave, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's robot also dries dishes and makes coffee for her. [[spoiler:And he ''hates'' it.]]

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' golems are [[OurMonstersAreDifferent basically robots]], so we naturally end up with a golem designated as a maid. Well, a secretary. A giant clay secretary in a blue gingham dress named Gladys. And since golems are not used to having a gender identity of any description, HilarityEnsues.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode, "Metal Attraction", Gyro invents a robot duck maid named Robotica. Unfortunately she was WAY too emotional and had a crush on Gizmoduck that reached {{Yandere}} levels.

* "[[MeaningfulName Bismarck]]," in Creator/RobertSilverberg's short story "The Iron Chancellor," is a Robot Maid [[spoiler:with a nasty twist]].

* (Classic) Roll in the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' games was designed to be one of these for Dr Light.

** SimBots in the ''Ambissions'' expansion are essentially a more primitive version of the Servos, and can fill the same purposes.
** 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.

* Episode "Mary 25" of ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' has a robot nanny bought to work in a household, just to be molested by the children's violent and abusive father. It doesn't end well…

* 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. [[spoiler: The maid aspect becomes even more apparent when you unlock her other forms.]]
