Summary

The series follows Robocon, a G‑class robot and first‑generation student at the robot school, who is dispatched to the human world to complete his practical training. Through a lottery system, he is assigned to live with the Kurihara family in Otara City. Although well‑intentioned, Robocon is prone to clumsiness and frequently causes unintended trouble while attempting to assist those around him. His overarching goal is to become an A‑class robot, a status he hopes to achieve through perseverance and what he refers to as his robo guts.

A wide range of other robots appears throughout the series, each designed for specific roles and responsibilities, contributing to the programme’s comedic and instructional tone. Daily activities undertaken by the robot trainees are evaluated by their homeroom teacher, Mr Robot Gantz‑Sensei. Students who earn a perfect score of 100 points receive a heart mark, and collecting ten heart marks qualifies a robot for graduation as an A‑class unit.
