Roboz  - Small mute robot on the private detective series RIPTIDE/NBC/1984-86. Roboz is a mobile orange computer with a face like an ant. Invented by computer genius Murray "Boz" Bozinsky (Thom Bray), an ex-army buddy of two private detectives Cody Allen (Perry King) and Nick Ryder (Joe Penny) Roboz obtains information via a network of data banks accessible to it circuits. The information is displayed on a TV monitor built into its chest. Using its sensitive radar system, Roboz often warned his friends of approaching dangers. Not fully perfected, Roboz was often klutzy, falling down stairs or overboard the Riptide cabin cruiser moored at Pier 56, Kings Harbor, the headquarters of the two private investigators.
