automaton

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">robot</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for automaton that I've seen before include "variety of android" , "working robot" , "Amount to a (anag) - robot" , "Robotic figure" , "being worked invariably" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
