In TheTeam, one of the members is a robot, while others are humans (or other, more "organic" lifeforms). This robot might've been built by another member of the group, or the robot might've existed before they joined the team.
As the lone robot, a number of "social" robot tropes may be in play: the members might treat it no differently from normal humans (or at least no differently from their more organic friends), especially if they're a RidiculouslyHumanRobot, though at least a few of them (usually the {{Jerkass}} of the group) might think of them as JustAMachine. On their end, depending on the robot's intelligence, they might either be just a silent, obedient member, someone who can speak, but only in a technical/intellectual manner, up to having full-fledged emotions that lets them interact with fellow members like a normal human would. If they are a RidiculouslyHumanRobot that looks human in appearance and/or being mistaken for human, [[RoboticReveal There would be possibly a reveal of them being a robot]] if the other members don't know it already, either by the other members finding out for themselves, the sole robot getting a massive injury that could potentially be fatal to an average human, or probably through a TomatoInTheMirror moment.
Depending on their capabilities, the robot may pose as TheSmartGuy, TheHeart, or TheBigGuy, or a SupportPartyMember. The robot is often the member to take damage more than other team members would, simply because [[WeCanRebuildHim they can potentially be repaired]] - at least when there is a good enough mechanic character around to help.
Compare to RobotBuddy whose traits may overlap with this, ForgotHeWasARobot,RobotGirl, and RidiculouslyHumanRobot. May overlap with RoboticReveal. Contrast with TokenHuman.
Subtrope to TokenNonHuman. It's distinction compared to a token robot, a token non-human's sense of cultural identity, family history, personal identity, person''hood'', and team dynamics, among other factors, is likely to be very different. The token non-human counts as a natural/organic being while the token robot is an artificial being.

* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', Robo fills this role. Given that your party is composed of people from many different time periods (including a NubileSavage from 20,000,00 BC, a [[BalefulPolymorph frog]] swordsman from about 300 years before the "present-day", and possibly a Zeal-ean mage alive from at least 10,000 BC), Robo is both the only non-human (Frog notwithstanding) and the only party member to come from ''after'' [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Lavos emerges]].

* ''VideoGame/LiveALive'': The protagonist of the Sci-Fi chapter, a little spherical robot named [[IronicName Cube]], ultimately serves as such for not only being the only robot actually helping the humans in his chapter, but also being the sole robot among the seven [[note]]acually eight if Oersted is counted[[/note]] heroes.
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'':
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' has Legion, an autonomous geth platform that is recruited for the SuicideMission late in the game. There is also EDI, the fully-fledged artificial intelligence of the CoolStarship ''Normandy'', but she is more of a disembodied voice on the comms than a robot.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', EDI gains a physical body, allowing her to come along on missions with Shepard, although the "body" is merely another terminal for her, while her main cores are still on the ship. Legion (provided it/they survived) only appears as a non-recruitable side character during the Rannoch arc.
* In ''[[VideoGame/PuzzleQuest Puzzle Quest Galactrix]]'', one of the six crew members is the robot [=ED24=], who enables you to hack the Leap Gates.
*''{{VideoGame/Skullgirls}}'': Unlike characters like Peacock and Big Band who are cyborgs,Robo-Fortune is the only playable character who is wasn't even organic in the first place. She was designed by [[GreaterScopeVillain Brain Drain]] to see out the [[MacGuffin Skull Heart]] to use for his own purposes in her Story Mode.
*''VideoGame/LegacyOfTheVoid'': An entire subspecies of Protoss robots (made in imitation of Protoss forces and given the memories and personalities of actual Protoss) known as Purifiers is discovered and taken out of storage. One of them received Fenix's memories, but unfortunately from before the Protoss ever met the humans (so none of the first game's CharacterDevelopment for him). He's used as a support power, wreaking havoc for half a minute before warping back to the mothership, and eventually takes on a new name to mark that he's not the Fenix everyone keeps expecting.
* ''Franchise/StarFox'': Although not a pilot for the team, R.O.B 64 serves as the Star Fox team's robotic assistant throughout the series providing assistance from the Great Fox.
* In most ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games, Omega serves as this for Team Dark. Having been originally built by Dr. Eggman, Omega turned against his creator after being locked in a room and forgotten about, leading to him becoming friends with Rouge and Shadow.
*Out of the main characters/bosses in ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'', we have Mettaton, a killer robot built by Alphys who hosts a well-known talk show and owns a hotel.

* ''Film/TooManyCooks'': At first, the introduced cast is full of ordinary human characters, with the only oddity being how many there are. Then Smarf the robot-cat is introduced, showing how things are beginning to go off the rails. He's still the only robot member by the end, though, and gives a sign of greater intelligence when he decides to [[spoiler: hit the literal ResetButton to stop the chaos.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' the titular family live with one another, two pets (a dog and an alien) and a RobotMaid named Rosie.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'' episode "Verb Dog: When Action Calls!", Martha dreams that she and her friends are superheroes. Most of them just have powers in the dream, but T.D. is a robot and, being a robot, he lacks a sense of humor, [[RubberMan can extend his arms]], and is called '''The T.D. 603'''.
*''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'':A rare example where the token robot is the protagonist. Jenny or XJ-9 is a {{Fembot}} built by her "mother" to protect the earth from evil forces and is the only robot in her group of friends and attending her school.
* ''{{WesternAnimation/Ninjago}}'' plays with this trope quite a bit with the ensembles that the ninja make.
** The ninja team has the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Ridiculously Human Robot]], Zane, although he wasn't [[LateArrivalSpoiler revealed to be a robot until a little bit into the series.]] Post-Season 3 Zane has him looking more robotic looking and then loses his token status when PIXAL joins the team much later.
**[[RagtagBunchOfMisfits The Ninja Replacements]], a team formed by Jay to stop [[JerkassGenie Nadakhan]]'s wedding and to rescue the other ninja from the Djinn Blade, has Echo Zane, a nindroid built similarity kin to Zane who was found in Dr. Julien's lighthouse to give the poor man some company.
** Played with in Season 8 when P.I.X.A.L, [[spoiler: the second Samurai X]], and an assistant robot built by Cyrus Borg, eventually joins the team and is a member of [[LaResistance Lloyd's Resistance]] against the Sons of Garmadon in Season 9. She was also a temporary vital ally in Season 3 and then later served as VoiceWithAnInternetConnection from Season 4 - Early Season 7.
*In ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'', every TimePolice unit operates with a human/robot pairing, and this holds true to our main characters- officer Buck Tuddrussel and his robot partner Larry 3000- but they ended up adopting an eight-year-old history wiz named Otto Osworth and this disrupts the balance. Larry is often put into the role of the caregiver for the two childish humans when he should be their equal. This tokenism gets more apparent when time traveling, as Larry is naturally the only robot in the group that often includes his teammates and the historical figures he's working with.

[[caption-width-right:350: You know, the one that's made out of metal.]]
In TheTeam, one of the members is a robot, while others are humans (or other, more "organic" lifeforms). This robot might've been built by another member of the group, or the robot might've existed before they joined the team.
As the lone robot, a number of "social" robot tropes may be in play: the members might treat it no differently from normal humans (or at least no differently from their more organic friends), especially if they're a RidiculouslyHumanRobot, though at least a few of them (usually the {{Jerkass}} of the group) might think of them as JustAMachine. On their end, depending on the robot's intelligence, they might either be just a silent, obedient member, someone who can speak, but only in a technical/intellectual manner, up to having full-fledged emotions that lets them interact with fellow members like a normal human would. If they are a RidiculouslyHumanRobot that looks human in appearance and/or being mistaken for human, [[RoboticReveal There would be possibly a reveal of them being a robot]] if the other members don't know it already, either by the other members finding out for themselves, the sole robot getting a massive injury that could potentially be fatal to an average human, or probably through a TomatoInTheMirror moment.
Depending on their capabilities, the robot may pose as TheSmartGuy, TheHeart, or TheBigGuy, or a SupportPartyMember. The robot is often the member to take damage more than other team members would, simply because [[WeCanRebuildHim they can potentially be repaired]] - at least when there is a good enough mechanic character around to help.
Compare to RobotBuddy whose traits may overlap with this, ForgotHeWasARobot,RobotGirl, and RidiculouslyHumanRobot. May overlap with RoboticReveal. Contrast with TokenHuman.
Subtrope to TokenNonHuman. It's distinction compared to a token robot, a token non-human's sense of cultural identity, family history, personal identity, person''hood'', and team dynamics, among other factors, is likely to be very different. The token non-human counts as a natural/organic being while the token robot is an artificial being.
