Animatronio is a very primitive male Robot, powered by a mouse in a wheel, who speaks with an Italian accent. Leonardo da Vinci built and left him on Earth when returning to Planet Vinci, so that his great secret could remain hidden, only known to the Shadow Society of Intellectuals. The Planet Express crew mistook Animatronio for Saint James because of The Last Supper, a painting by Leonardo (6ACV05).
