"Once upon a time there was a land so bright
On a planet far away now a planet full of light.
In the sky you could see spaceships fly under seven moons and two suns
They gave it day and night."

Androbot Topo was a series of robots designed in the 1980s by Androbot Inc., for the consumer and education markets. It was wirelessly programmable via an Apple II with a modified version of Apple BASIC called TopoBASIC (and later Forth with TopoFORTH). The program allowed the robot to perform a set of geometric movements, to move about a room and perform tasks. It was like a servant robot, although it did not have any sensors to receive input and make decisions accordingly. It also could not communicate back with the Apple II any information, nor calibrate its own motors to ensure an accurate task was being performed1. The robots were sold commercially starting in May of 1983, and were intended to be inexpensive, lacking a complicated manipulating device. There were three versions of Topo: Topo I, Topo II (also known as Topo w/ Sound), and Topo III. A final Topo IV was planned but never completed.

"There was once a man who had a silver hand.
Push the buttons so a spaceship to come from video land.
Through universe It then came close to earth
It exploded down the north pole. A robot survived..."

The founder of Androbot Inc. was Nolan Bushnell, who also co-founded Atari and the Pizza Time Theater restaurant chain. He started Androbot Inc. in 1982 as a response to the cultural demand for personal robots sparked by the original Star Wars. He also founded Catalyst Technologies as one of the first technology company incubators, which funded Androbot Inc. and other projects.

"Just a robot-man trapped in a foreign land he was beeping out to someone
To come and give a hand. He was found, the people got him out:
He was frozen to the circuits and steadily called out."
