roboticize
Convert to automation
Roboticize means to convert into a robot or make robot-like.
The term appears in science fiction where characters are transformed into mechanical beings, and more broadly describes making something automated or removing human qualities: The assembly line has been roboticized.
It can suggest dehumanization—stripping away individuality or emotion: Years of bureaucratic work had roboticized him.
