Trivia
Today, Robby the Robot is a superstar of science fiction, appearing first in Forbidden Planet (1956). Some would say he is the perfect realization of Isaac Asimov's famous "Three Laws of Robotics", which Azimov first promulgated in his 1950 story collection, I, Robot.
Robby is now owned by the top Forbidden Planet collector in the world, film director 'Bill Malone'.
Robby stands at a height of 7' 6" tall, weighs about 300 lbs., and was originally operated by an MGM special effects technician named 'Glen Robinson' who subsequently worked on MGM's Logan's Run (1976).
In Forbidden Planet (1956) he was played by Frankie Darro.
