help needed please!

looking for the name of a 1910 era robot man. he was built with some intention of being used as a soldier and was one more part of the story behind robotics. maybe for an exhibition somewhere of that time frame? i've known his name, but has escaped me. internet and forum searches have left me dry.

any help gratefully appreciated!

BoilerPlate is, of course, fictional. Pretty neat book though, with cool pictures.
