Robotkin

Robotkin is a kin identity under the otherkin umbrella where an individual identifies as a robot and believes themselves to be robotic in some fashion way, such as spiritually or psychologically. It may be considered a subcategory of machinekin.

Robotkin often feel a spiritual connection towards robots and machines. Robotkin often identify strongly with the idea of transhumanism—a philosophical movement advocating for the advancement of the human condition through technological developments that enhance the human lifespan, cognition, mood, and physical abilities—and posthumanism—another movement in which a person would exist in a state that is beyond human.

Transhumanism focuses on technological enhancements of humans, creating cyborgs, while posthumanism deviates itself to the point individuals would no longer be considered human by current standards, in the robotkin case, becoming a complete robot instead.

Robotkin individuals may express themselves in a number of ways, including identifying as:

• robots
• androids
• animatronics
• anthroids
• cleaner robots
• Cybertronians
• drones
• zoomorphic robots
