Why is it masculine?
Robot is masculine in Spanish (el robot) because it was borrowed from Czech writer Karel Čapek's 1920 play "R.U.R.," where the word derives from Czech "robota" (forced labor), and it entered Spanish as a masculine noun following the pattern of similar technical terms borrowed into the language. There is no clear etymological rule explaining the gender—it's simply how the word was adopted and conventionalized in Spanish usage.
