The term 'robot' in recent cultural contexts in the USA, and presumably other nations, seems to refer to people who appear to mindlessly follow various sets of rules. This definition has been extended to specific sub-cultures and particularly, corporate cultures.
The extension of this definition has come to include anyone following the rule-sets of their learned behavior, but in particular, those people who mimic their cultural memes while unaware of their imitative, example-dependent tendencies.
There is a social movement to objectify people with the term robot to reduce or deny their human characteristics, but this movement is also a projection of the observers' own robotic qualities which the observers are either unaware of or are attempting to deny.
This extended definition for 'robot' can go so far that it includes all people, because all people learn their behavior from other people and cultures whom they have chosen to mimic, either consciously or non-consciously.
People described as 'robots' appear to have free will, however all of a robot's options have been pre-programmed by their cultural contexts and social dependencies, regardless of whether they choose conformative, moderate, or rebellious modes of self-expressions.
You ARE a robot, but so what? So is everyone else...

Based on the failed pilot (now on myspace) "Gay Robot", it is similar in meaning to the term "No Homo." It can be used to note that something you're saying sounds gay, but you don't mean it in the gay sense. It can be used before or after your statement.
Also, if you fail to flag your homo sounding comment with no robot, someone can call no robot on you, just as with no homo. The phrase no robot is convenient when in a public place because it is not as offensive as saying no homo in a crowded place.
1. "Yo that dude is big, no robot."
2. "No Robot, but your man has some nice moves in the post."
3. *Friend says homo remark* - "Man, No Robot!"

One who conforms to all of the rules, regulations, and expectations of society. They have none of their own thoughts but rather a form of "artifical intelligence" or "A.I." that involves them believing that they have their own ideas and set of morals, but they were actually imposed or "programmed" in them by society.
Hey dude check that robot.

Dance move that makes you appear like a robot or unhuman. Makes it seem like your legs and arms are made with screws and your powered by electricity.
