1) Wow...... I'd guess 'Lost in Space' might have been the 1'st one. But Mr. Data on 'Star Trek' and every robot/android in between can claim to be 'descended' from Robby.
2) The center of mass of Robby and the shielding would have been outside of Robbys support base and he would have tipped over.
3) Civilization in which the members have developed so far mentally that 'instrumentation' (what we would call, today, technology) is obsolete.
4) Tough question. Either nuclear energy or computers.

I love this movie. I own a copy and have watched it over and over.
1. Robby appeared in a number of televisions shows, but the most famous was an episode of "Lost in Space." [5]
2. There are numerous problems with Robby carrying that much weight. One problem is that the ground would probably not support him. Also, carrying that much weight on an outstretched arm would generate a tremendous torque, which his feet would need to counteract. That kind of dusty soil would not give sufficient grip for him to do that. He would simply tip over.[4]
3. "Civilization without instrumentalities" means that people would simply have to think of something and it would happen. There would be no need for tools or "instruments." [4]
4. That would be the nuclear industry. In the 1950s, people thought that nuclear power would be so cheaper that we would not even need electric meters.[5] In the movie, the Krell culture had buried enormous nuclear reactors that powered their great machine. These nuclear reactors were used to destroy the planet at the end of the movie.

Ben Hur. no longer that i'm all that confident this is traditionally precise or that I join anybody particular faith, besides the indisputable fact that this is a efficient movie and the trial and crucifixion scenes will convey you to tears. The conversion of Judah Ben-Hur(Charlton Heston) on the tip is very shifting. The sound music is rather efficient. different than for that this is purely a large depiction of the Roman empire, the brutality of the chariot races and video games, and the domination of Rome over something of the international and why the empire had to fall quickly. The movie is spiritually important to me simply by fact it illustrates the conversion physique of techniques of Judah Ben Hur and on the comparable time conjures up the comparable thoughts contained in the viewer.

So I know the first one is definitely The Robot from LIS, and I figured that the robot would fall over carrying that much weight on his outstretched arm, not sure of the 3rd one, but would guess the the 4th is nuclear power.
Now do you know what actor played the captain of the saucer?
It's Leslie Nielsen!

Robby actually appeared in another movie as Tobor the Great. Not that that movie was any great shakes.
Robby's arm is pretty strong, Dude.
A race of mentalists (see "Second Foundation")

My favorite movie when I was a kid.
However, I saw it recently and it looked so dated. I don't think kids of today would go for it.
But I have never worried about the finer points of the movie, and I see all sorts of holes in modern space movies, but try not to let it get in the way of enjoying them.

2. He would actually fall over.
4. Atomic energy was predicted to power everything from clocks to autos and airplanes. It was believed that every person would have their own atomic energy source to carry around to provide gigantic amounts of energy.

1) "Lost In Space"
2) I have no idea -- maybe the writers were stupid
3) They can move things, and create things, with mental power alone
4) I assume computer science, but I am not sure
