In the [[episodes:2003|2003 series]], Robita (known as Nora in the English dub) received a much larger role. Here, she (the character is portrayed as female) is Astro's nanny and also housekeeper of [[characters:dr elefun|Dr. Ochanomizu]]'s house. Despite this, and appearing in most of the episodes, she had little or no impact on the storyline itself. She is generally shown to be a source of information, added to show a sense of family in the household, or even as comic relief.

====Non Astro Boy====

Robita also appeared in Osamu Tezuka's //Phoenix// manga. 

=====Trivia=====

In the 2003 series, she is voiced by Naoki Tatsuta in the Japanese version and by Jennifer Darling in the English version.
