I'd say it's monotone (constant frequency) and "buzzy" where by "buzzy" I mean a spectral envelope that a tad more flat.

I remember hearing that the traditional pirate voice we hear today ("Yarr!  Me Hearties!" etc.) was first introduced by an actor playing Long John Silver in the first Treasure Island.  Since then, everyone uses his voice when being a pirate.*  Perhaps there is a similar case for robots in film, or you look at the answer to question 1.  Of course, not all robots have the classic robot voice: HAL, as an early example.

Science.  To answer questions posed by its human master.
