Robotman was part of a marketing blitz to bring Robotman to people's attention. It started off in a comic strip called "Robotman" about a robot who thought he was from space and was learning about humans. Turns out these were implanted memories by his creator Monty. This has nothing to do with Robotman the cartoon. Like at all. Except the name and overall general look of the character.
Where the Robotman in the comic strip was a little squat and had a big nose, this one didn't. In fact if the general design and name weren't the same they could be considered two different characters altogether.
This cartoon is just your typical schlock put out by a company trying to push a product. Good robots who love and want to help people come to Earth. They need people to tough the hearts on their chests to power them or something. There's a bad robot that comes along and he hates music and is able to influence people to hate the robots.
It's frankly... stupid. But what do you expect? It's hollow and has a marketing feel all over it.
