robo-mommy

noun. A motherly, robotic bucket of bolts and guilt.

Real citation: "While pretending to do all the equations at work, Proteus plans in secret at the Harris home. Finally, he makes himself known, trapping Susan in her house and controlling her surroundings. He wants to reproduce, explaining, "I, Proteus possess the knowledge and ignorance of all men, but I cannot feel the sun on my face." Unfortunately, Susan is to be the robo-mommy."

Made-up citation: "A robo-mommy isn't ideal, but it beats a robo-goon."
