Morphology

robotization = robotize (semi-transparent) = robot + ize + ation

The noun formation from 'robotize' is regular, but this sense is metaphorical because it extends from literal robot-making to making people or behavior seem mechanical and emotionless.

Etymology

Robotization comes from robot, which comes from Czech robota meaning 'forced work', and the ending -ization meaning 'the process of making'. So robotization can mean making people or actions mechanical and less human.
