Handbots

In season 6 episode 10, The Doctor, Amy and Rory encounter the Handbots.

They are medical robots designed to look after people suffering from the fatal Chen 7 plague that was located in the Two Streams facility on a planet called Apalapucia. In case you're trying to pronounce the name of the planet, watch below.



These robots did not have a huge range of motion and they were also quite lacking in intelligence. But they were made with hypodermic needles and darts to administer the medicine. They walk around with their hands up to sense bacteria in the area, as well as see.

The Handbots are unable to tell that a human body would not be able to cope with their medicine, and this is what makes them villains. They are only trying to help, but really they could kill Amy and Rory. Amy gets trapped for 36 years with these Handbots chasing her, and surprisingly, she holds her own.

Amy even makes a Rory-bot, he is adorable.

The most awkward part of the episode is when the two Amy's meet each other, but you know, it's wobbly wobbly, timey, wimey.
