robotically

Robotically describes doing something in the manner of a robot—mechanically, without emotion or spontaneity.

The word usually implies stiff, repetitive movement or flat, expressionless delivery: She robotically recited the safety instructions.

It can suggest efficiency drained of humanity: He robotically processed applications all day.
