Emmy the Robot is a webcomic created by Dominic Cellini starring a robotic nanny, known as a Nandroid, named Emmy. The series follows Emmy and her life serving her owners, the Delaire family, and the events following a malfunction she suffers.

Plot synopsis

Emmy was created by Sterling Robotics and prepared to become human care-certified at their USA headquarters alongside other Nandroids. Boasting vast knowledge on a range of subjects such as advanced mathematics and multiple languages,[1] Emmy and her classmates went through a rigorous education process at Nandroid School, where they were taught socialization and proper etiquette for how to care for their future human owners.[2] After completing her schooling, Emmy received her assignment to care for the Delaire family.[3]

Emmy was then shipped to her new home, and, on a Christmas morning, Ted Delaire unveiled her to his wife Angela and his daughter Madeline, who warmy accepted the Nandroid.[4]

Emmy spent the next four years living with the Delaires in Hawthorn Grove.[5] During this time she formed a strong bond with Madeline, and enjoyed spending time with her friends Amy, Franny, Molly, and Polly - four of her former Nandroid School classmates who were assigned to families living in the same neighborhood.[6]

One Saturday, Ted took Angela, Madeline and Emmy on a shopping trip to Beacon City.[7] While in the city, Emmy prevented Madeline from receiving a piece of candy from a friendly-looking outmode, exhibiting her bias towards outmoded robots.[8] When Madeline later confronted Emmy about it, Emmy assured her charge that they would always be together, because Nandroids have superior engineering and are unable to become outmoded.[6]

At some point shortly prior to Madeline's 8th birthday, Emmy received a new software update via mail.[9] Following this, she began experiencing malfunctions with her hand, which resulted in various delays and mishaps during Emmy's preparations for Madeline's birthday party and the subsequent party itself.[10][11]

The issue ultimately culminated into Emmy losing consciousness and involuntarily destroying Madeline's birthday cake, with her arm spraying the cake with fire extinguishing foam seemingly on its own accord in response to perceiving the candles on the cake as a fire threat. Ted attempted to stop Emmy, but was sprayed as well.[12] When Emmy regained her senses, her Nandroid friends led her away and attempted to console her. However, overwhelmed with shame, she locked herself in a bathroom.[13]

Following the incident, Emmy's human care certification was revoked and she was sent back to Sterling headquarters to undergo testing in order to find and fix the cause of her malfunction.[14] However, after the cause of the issue remained undiscovered for 11 days,[15] Emmy snuck out of her assigned room to eavesdrop on Dr. Bennet and Dr. Webb discussing her situation. After she overheard Dr. Bennet mention Emmy potentially getting sent away to be dismantled, and panicking due to her room door locking shut behind her,[16] Emmy hid in a trashcan to avoid being detected. However, before she could react, an oblivious janitor robot emptied the trashcan into a trash chute, unknowingly sending Emmy down the chute as well. Trapped inside a discarded refrigerator, Emmy was then transported across the Beacon Bay to a landfill in Dupont,[17] approximately 30 miles from her home.[18]

Laying unconscious in the landfill, Emmy was eventually awoken when her right arm was stolen by small scavenging robots known as Nabs. She attempted to chase after them, but tripped and slid down into a pile of trash and was knocked into shutdown mode again.[19]

Some time later Emmy was found by Darcy, who reactivated her and was able to find and attach a replacement arm to the Nandroid.[20][21] With no easy route to return home, Darcy took Emmy to a payphone. Emmy was reluctant to call either Sterling Robotics or her family, however, as she still had no human care certification and feared that returning to Sterling would result in her being dismantled. Darcy then suggested she come with her to her Aunt Ginny's house, and attached a bracelet device to Emmy.[22][23]

Upon arriving at Aunt Ginny's, Emmy was introduced to a group of outmodes living there, and attempted to explain her predicament to them. They found her story to be nonsensical and even humorous, believing her to be in denial about being purposefully discarded by her owners, much to Emmy's disappointment and anger.[24][25][26][27] Emmy then met Aunt Ginny herself, and witnessed her talk to the painting of her father on the wall while repeatedly misnaming Emmy.[28][29][30] After another bout of being laughed at by the outmodes for her insistence that her family is missing her, Emmy ran away into the night, much to Darcy's dismay.[31]

History

Dominic first unveiled Emmy in an Instagram post in April of 2019,[32] and began releasing periodic concept art and one-shot comics for her and the other characters that would eventually make up the comic. After a year of posting via Instagram and Twitter, the comic became serialized through Webtoons in April 2020[33] and has been on a semi-regular weekly release schedule ever since.
