@Micah: Oh, you're right. Nanites are probably considered robots.
@Annalee Newitz: I was referring to the article: "Shows that contain multiple themes were counted once in each category, so Star Trek: The Next Generation would add one point each to aliens, space travel, robots and time travel."
I can think of robots in other series' of Star Trek, but I'm having difficultly thinking of any in TNG.
As the show clearly points out on a number of occasions, Data was an android, not a robot.
