[[File:Tinkering 2.png|left]]In ''The Sims 2: Open for Business'', Sims can use the [[Robot Crafting Station]] to build robots, earning talent badge points along the way. At Gold level, Sims are able to build the [[Servo]], an advanced and intelligent robot that can be used for chores around the house.

}}'''CleanBot''' - Basically a robot that cleans up the lot it is activated in. The major shortcoming of this robot is that it can only clean up items that are on the floor or ground. In other words, it can't clean counters or showers or sinks, nor can it dispose of anything that's on a surface. However, it can empty trash cans by opening them and vacuuming out their contents, though it cannot empty trash compactors. It will not empty a toddler's potty or clean a cat's litter pan, but will vacuum up dishes or baby bottles placed on the floor, but will ignore discarded cups from the fruit punch machine. It will also vacuum up puddles, even those under other objects, and can do so safely so long as it does not come in contact with the water. A CleanBot will vacuum up old [[newspaper]]s, but will apparently ignore worn-out [[Magazine#Hobby Magazines|hobby magazines]]. A CleanBot can clean up after a [[Dog#The Sims 2: Pets|dog]], or behind a broken HydroBot. If the outside garbage can is kicked or tipped over, it will clean up the spilled garbage. When broken, it will go around spewing out packages of trash. (Of course, it can be used to clean them up after it's fixed.)

When a Servo is built, it is switched off and can only be activated by a Sim ([[teen]] or older) if there is room in the household for another member. The Servo can be activated as male or female, and can be given a name when activated. The Servo takes on the personality, aspiration, and last name of the Sim who activates it. If [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|Lifetime Aspiration]] is present, the Servo will have five [[Aspiration benefit]] points when activated. If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, the Servo will not take on the [[hobby]] [[enthusiasm]] of the Sim who activates it, and may or may not have the same predestined hobby.

[[File:Skill TS4 Robotics.png|left|40px55px]]Robotics is a skill in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'' that allows Sims to build [[Drone#The Sims 4: Discover University|Utili-Bots]], [[Remote control vehicle|Quadcopters]], [[Servo#The Sims 4|Servos]], cybernetic body armor, and robotic toys. There is a university organization Sims can join to work on this skill.<ref name="Robotics skill">https://twitter.com/SimGuruFrost/status/1187069258343141376</ref>

Sims who attain the robotics skill can craft robotcs at the Dr. F's Official Robotics Workstation. Robots can be sold in the Sim's inventory, in build mode, or in retail stores from ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work|Get to Work]]''. As Sims level up their robotics skill, they will craft more types of robots and constructions.

}}'''Robo-Arms''' are decorative pieces that can be worn by Sims (if they don't have a full body outfit) to have the appearance of a cybernetic arm. When worn on a Sim, their chances of being shocked by electricity will be greatly reduced, which comes in handy at the Dr. F's Official Robotics Workstation.
