Famous ROBOTS In SF/F???

Red Tornado

Yul Brynner's Gunslinger in Westworld.

Hymie from Get Smart

Box from Logan's Run
 
I would submit that the Gort from both versions of Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the most powerful robots ever seen on film that operate from within an atmosphere. The original had some unexplained world destroying power, and the new one demonstrated the ability to "gray goo" a planet into submission. They make Megatron look like a toy(haha).

More robots:

MechaGodzilla(s)
Data(an android, but that's a type of robot)
IG-88
Maximilian, Black Hole
Vincent, Black Hole
Asimov robots, I,Robot
Robbie the Robot, Forbidden Planet
Ash and Bishop, Alien series
Robot, Lost in Space tv and movie
Johnny 5, Short Circuit
Kronos(1957 movie)
Hunter Killers, Terminator
T-1000, Terminator
T-X, Terminator 3
Harvester, Terminator 4
Hydrobot, Terminator 4
Sentinels, Matrix

All I have time for...

Edit:

Maria, Metropolis
The Vision, One of my favorite comic book androids
David, AI
Andrew, Bicentennial Man
Raston warrior robot, Dr Who
Pralor and the Cravic robots, ST Voyager

Of course the Daleks, Cybermen, Borg, Terminator T-101/800/805 are all more machine than man, but technically cyborgs.

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression the Daleks were completely biological (if genetically "enhanced") beings, and their famous shell is merely a kind of robotic vessel.

Their "shell" is an extension and expansion of their organic form, they're not merely pilots, they are part of the armor.

This reminds me of more robots from Dr Who: The Movellans, Mechanoids, Quarks, Robot from "Robot" episode, Autons, D, S, SV robots from "Robots of Death"(my favorite Dr Who episode). I know many of these were famous in England.

I don't know what it is called but it's a robot that lives on the moon, looks like an oven, and dreams of skiing, and it protects and repairs the moon's cheese... in the Wallace and Gromit short A Grand Day Out
 
Didn't see Hal 9000...

Wasn't really a robot though, unless you count the whole Discovery.
