I know the term, "robot" comes from the 1920 play, R.U.R. or Rossum's Universal Robots, which played on Broadway at the Garrick Theatre in 1922. It was even the Broadway debuts for Spencer Tracy and Pat O'Brien. 

However, have there been any robot characters of prominence since?

The tin man is a cyborg; STARSHIP has a robot character; long-gestating rock opera THE PROTOMEN has a mix of humans, cyborgs and robots as its cast.
