Just a fun Popular Electronics cover illustration from 1958, for sale at https://www.ebay.com/itm/293193111854. Would make a nice T-shirt IMO...

Interesting the way society thought these guys would look.

That illustration shows a Radicon robot, one of the most coveted toy robots of 1957. It uses a spark gap transmitter and the receiver uses a bizarre powdered metal coherer tube for the very first crude clockwork radio control mechanisms. WANT!
