Tom Servo is one of two robot cohosts built by Joel Robinson to act as a companion and help stave off madness as he was forced to watch low-quality movies by the Mads on Mystery Science Theater 3000. He is somewhat more mature and cynical than his companion Crow T. Robot. He was at first somewhat arrogant, and yet comes off as highly sensitive.
As his puppeteer is already seated in the theater when the others arrive, Servo is usually shown to be carried in by the host, but there are some episodes where he is shown entering the theater on his own. In Robot Holocaust, he tells Joel that there is a heat vent that he finds difficult to hover over, and thus needs assistance. In Season 11, with advances in green screen and remote control technology, this handicap is removed, as Tom can now fly in the theater.
