robotic
Like an automaton
Robotic describes something relating to robots or resembling their qualities—mechanical, automatic, lacking human warmth.
A robotic arm performs factory tasks.
Robotic surgery uses precision machines.
When applied to people, robotic suggests stiff, emotionless behavior: His delivery was robotic, completely devoid of feeling.
The word can describe anything that feels programmed rather than natural.
