Robot PD was a long-running PD library run by Richard Fairhurst. It was the third CPC PD library to be established in the United Kingdom, after WACCI and DW Software.

Robot started off with cassette-only software, but soon moved to disc operation. Among its features were a wide range of software (AMSDOS-based and CP/M, UK and European), eventually numbering around 200 'sides' in total; many original programs, such as PowerPage; and sometimes appallingly slow delivery. Robot was often at the centre of the so-called 'PD wars', along with Scull PD.
