There is no single, clear definition of what a 'robot' is, as normal people use the term.
The moment you write a definition broad enough to encompass a roomba, an industrial robot arm, and a child's toy robot you'll find you've also included cruise missiles, 3D printers, remote control cars and Ming dynasty naval mines.
