roboticization
Becoming a machine
Roboticization is the process of converting something—typically a living being—into a robot or robotic form.
The term appears mainly in science fiction, where characters undergo forced or voluntary transformation into machines: The villain's roboticization program turned citizens into mindless drones.
More broadly, it can describe making any system increasingly automated or mechanical.
