The Day of the Robot is the third studio album by Buckethead. Known as his "Jungle" album due to the presence of UK "Beat Scientist" DJ Ninj, an occasional Bill Laswell collaborateur. It is currently out of print, making it a valuable collector's item, but can be found in the download store of TDRS Music.

The title "The Day of the Robot" is most likely a reference to The Six Million Dollar Man episode of the same name, while "Flying Guillotine" refers to Guillotine from Johnny Sokko's Flying Robot.

Alternative Press (11/96, p. 69) gave the album 5 stars out of 5 and said, "...has both a decidedly experimental side, as well as a knack for placing sounds in sturdy, though scary, compositional contexts....Buckethead seems to have found a new place for guitar gods..."
