Real Robot (リアルロボット, Riaru Robotto?) is a genre of Japanese animation. The genre contains mecha robots that are powered by conventional power sources and weapons explainable by real world science, and that use ranged weapons (especially guns and cannons) and speed to survive battle situations. Plotwise, most Real Robot series feature an overarching story and more mature themes in opposite to the "monster of the week" structure seen in productions of the Super Robot genre.

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or robot:
“I came back to myself,
To the real work, to
“What is to be done.””
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
