Robots might have taken the world by storm nowadays, but it seems movie audiences are still smitten by R2D2, the spunky adventurous robot in the George Lucas directed 1977 classic Star Wars' , who has been voted the world's favourite robot in a poll conducted amongst 8000 people for Amazon.co.uk and IMDB.com .
According to Ananova , in the second place is the cigar chomping and booze-loving Bender from the hit cartoon Futurama . While overtly anxious C3PO from Star Wars makes it to the fourth slot.
According to Amazon spokeswoman Fiona Buckland, "R2D2 and C3PO add a certain degree of comic relief to the Star Wars films.
However, as well as making us laugh, they also represent loyalty and friendship."
Other robots to make it to the top 15 include the polite and gracious part-man part-machine Robocop in the sixth place, Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet, the 7ft creature who can speak 188 languages, in eighth place and Dr Who's Daleks in 12th place.
