cylon raider........does it qualify as a robot?
"The new Raiders are
cybernetic in nature: the ship is actually a living creature. Just like the humanoid Cylons, the Raiders are also capable of being "reborn" into new Raiders after having been destroyed.
[1] This is done so that new, replacement Raiders do not have to be trained, meaning that experienced combat "pilots" that have been killed are quickly available for duty again. This provides the Cylons with a distinct tactical advantage in the amount of battle-seasoning a Raider will have over a replacement Viper pilot; in essence, every time a Raider is destroyed, it is reborn slightly improved having "learned" through each Death/Downloading/Rebirth life-cycle it undergoes.
[2]. Raiders can also perform riskier, but more devastating attacks on the Colonials, including but not limited to,
kamikaze-style attacks."
