"I need to stab someone! Where's my stabbing knife?!" ―Roberto

Roberto is a recurring character in Futurama. He is a mentally unstable robot who enjoys stabbing people and objects, as well as robbing banks. He is regarded as being mentally unstable and has been seen in the Hal Institute for Criminally Insane Robots multiple times, threatening both patients and doctors with knives, as well as escaping at least once. His insanity had been cured momentarily in "Bender's Game", but suffered a concussion and soon lost all mental aptitude.

It is unknown why he is always being rebuilt every time he is destroyed.

Roberto's history is largely unknown, however, in Bender's Game he reveals he was built by some engineers who wanted to make an insane robot. He says they failed, but from everyone else's view, it was a major success. He later however comes to terms with the fact he's crazy. In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", it's revealed on his gravestone that he was built in 3001. During "Insane in the Mainframe", he mentions that his mother used to weld him to the wall as a form of punishment, a possible contributing factor for his insane behavior. He also can be seen lining up at a sperm bank at one point, likely to rob it.

In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", Roberto was executed after his latest attack on Hermes and Labarbara, attempting to rob them of their skin. After his death, Hermes replaced all his body parts with robotic implants. To become a complete robot, he, Professor Farnsworth, and Bender unknowingly dug up Roberto's grave for a robot brain. Hermes' brain was ultimately placed back in his Human body while Roberto's brain was placed in Hermes' robot body, becoming Roberto V2.0. Roberto peeled a piece of Hermes' skin and ate it but melted due to the spiciness of the skin (from years of eating Labarbara's spicy cooking).

In the episode "Stench and Stenchibility", Roberto was apparently rebuilt, as he tried to mug Dr. Zoidberg and his new girlfriend Marianne.
