Old Dude. As I sit here at this machine it is graced by no less than two Robbies and a pantheon of other robots, some known and others, just a toy maker's nightmare. Absolute tops of its day and and unsurpassed until "2001: A Space Odyssey". I saw it when I was seven and it scare the heck out of me. Those metal stairs bending under the weight of the ID-iot were terrifying. Do you recall the navigating mechanism? Not electronic but supposedly a highly sophisticated SLIDE RULE! So cool. Thanks for the post!
