- For the first three episodes of the show, movement was accomplished by an actor walking inside the Robot. This became too difficult, so whenever a scene required movement, an actor would carry the upper portion of the Robot on his back and the director would shoot the action from the Robot's legs up. Sometimes tracks were laid down and the entire Robot was manually pulled by workers off-camera.
- The voice of the Robot was Dick Tufeld, a popular freelance announcer in Hollywood. Dick will also be doing the Robot’s voice for the upcoming feature film version of Lost in Space.

Answer 4

This is pretty interesting trivia concerning that lovable Robot:

Although the Robot had no name, in the third-season episode entitled "The Time Merchant," it was shown in its packing crate, and the crate was labelled "ONE General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental ROBOT" with the G, U, N, T, E, and all letters in "ROBOT" in red capital letters, while all the other letters were black; some have suggested that this was supposed to convey the acronym "GUNTER";

I believe it was just called 'The Robot'. It was designed by the same guy who made Robbie The Robot in the movie Forbidden Planet.
