roboticizing
Converting to automation
Roboticizing is making something robotic—automating a process, replacing human workers with machines, or giving something mechanical qualities.
The term often carries dystopian overtones, suggesting the removal of human warmth or judgment: The company is roboticizing its customer service.
It can also describe making someone behave in a robotic, unthinking way.
