Luna watched her sister from across the room carefully. There was something off about her today, but she couldn't quite put her hoof on it. She seemed normal enough, she was humming quietly to herself while she did her usual routine of reading letters near the fireplace, she lifted her quill with her magic and dipped it in the inkwell before pressing it to a scroll to write a response. Something completely normal.
But something was still off. Celestia must have sensed that she was being watched, because she stopped writing.
"Is something wrong, Luna?" She asked. "You've been staring at me for the last hour and a half."
"Oh. No, its nothing."
"Are you sure? You seem kind of tense."
"Yes, its just, something seems kind of... Off about you today."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure, you just seem different today."
"Well I can assure you tha-" the sound of magic hitting metal stopped Celestia mid-sentance. She turned to face Luna. Half the skin on her face was missing, underneathe lay metal plates and a glowing red eye.
"I knew something was off!" Luna shouted, her horn smoking from the spell "You're a robot!"
The robot shreaked and twisted its neck around in a frightening way. Suddenly, all the doors to the room burst open and guards, servers and other castle staff stepped inside, all replaced with meal bits and wires.
They closed in on Luna, she grinned as her horn began to glow.
"I've always wanted to fight off an evil robot army!" She yelled as she let loose the first spell.
...wat.
I... Ummm...
What?

I demand you explain it anyway.
3452903 "A robot is a mechanical or virtual agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, collectively programmed 'swarm' robots, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own.
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots,[2] as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics.
As mechanical techniques developed through the Industrial age, more practical applications were proposed by Nikola Tesla, who in 1898 designed a radio-controlled boat. Electronics evolved into the driving force of development with the advent of the first electronic autonomous robots created by William Grey Walter in Bristol, England in 1948. The first digital and programmable robot was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was named the Unimate. It was sold to General Motors in 1961 where it was used to lift pieces of hot metal from die casting machines at the Inland Fisher Guide Plant in the West Trenton section of Ewing Township, New Jersey.[3]
Robots have replaced humans[4] in the assistance of performing those repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do due to size limitations, or even those such as in outer space or at the bottom of the sea where humans could not survive the extreme environments.
There are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society. Robots are blamed for rising unemployment as they replace workers in some functions. The use of robots in military combat raises ethical concerns. The possibility of robot autonomy and potential repercussions has been addressed in fiction and may be a realistic concern in the future."

Good enough explanation for you?

Wikipedia cannot be accepted as a reliable source for research, as anyone may edit it how so ever they may please.
Celestia, the real Celestia, sits back in her fore-boding armchair. The subtle glow of the many surrounding computer monitors bathing her an eery blue light. A ever so slight grin spreads across the princess's face as she speaks.
"Just, as, planned."

Yep, nailed that Terminator theme.
