Lightly off topic - but along those lines, I wonder what you would call it when a robot writes something on a paper? Robotic?

Think along the lines of the automaton at the Franklin Institute, or the little kits you can buy nowadays that have a little robotic arm draw the current time on a tiny dry-erase board.

Very nice! It's been a while since I looked at at 33. I see it is using a
type drum as opposed to the type box of the 28 or the type bars of the 15.
I think the type drum was used in a Morcrum printer used by AP in 1915.

There sure are a lot of different ways to get text onto paper! These
various "impact" printers including daisy wheel ending with dot matrix
impact, thermal dot matrix as was common in fax machines, xerographic, and
ink jet.
