This is a flag of convenience. Robby the Robot was one of the (features) of the Forbidden Planet ( which was made entirely indoors- a triumph of trick Photography) animal shots like the Tiger were superimposed. The Lost In Space robot was un-named. it did have the cipher B-9 ( obviously a pun on the word benign) It or he was only addressed as Robot. Robby the Robot was somewhat similar mechanically but more flussed- out.
The Robot was called B-9 or was essentially just the (Robot) Robby the Robot is from the l956 film Forbidden Planet.
It did not have a name, except in insults from Dr Smith, e.g., 'You bubble-headed booby' etc. Robby and Robert are familiar monikers for Robots- in Forbidden Planet and Steve Canyon, for example, but accurately the Lost In Space robot did not have a name. Tobor is another common handle for Robots as it is the word spelled backwards. The robot did not have a name, just an identifier, B9. Robby the Robot is from Forbidden Planet. The same man created them both.

Robot Just to nitpick . . . in the second season episode "Ghost Planet" he is referred to as "Robot B-9." In every other episode he is addressed merely as "Robot." In an episode where they travel back in time to just before they launch, there is a crate in Dr. Smiths office. It contains the Robot. On the side there is an acronym...G.U.N.T.H.E.R...which stood for General Utility Non Theorizing Environmental Robot. But as others have said, they always referred to him as Robot.
