robo
Prefix for automaton
Robo is a combining form meaning robotic or automated, typically attached to another word: robocall, robosigning, robo-advisor.
It suggests mechanical, impersonal operation—often with negative connotations of soulless automation.
Standing alone, robo appears in informal contexts as shorthand for robot or robotic: The customer service was totally robo.
