Not neccessarily, if the mechanism is designed to react in response to stimuli (read as forces) in a way that could be considered interaction, that might be debateable. Remember, People have built mechanical computers before, not much needs to be done from there to get a robot.

EDIT: Autonomy is more direct than remote control. why then does a MORE direct system disqualify the device as a robot?
