Andrew

Andrew is a small robot, who, together with his partner mugs people on the street.

Once they attempted to mug Fry and Leela, but failed as their victims had gained superpowers prior to the incident. Andrew's partner's comment after the failed attempt, "and after years of planning" may indicate that they are not very successful pairing. Bender knows this robot (or perhaps his partner) because after Fry and Leela return to Planet Express, Bender says "Hey a friend of mine said he mugged you today and you had superpowers!"

The concept of Andrew was meant to have the character explain futuristic concepts to Fry (to help the audience understand the future better), and this would drive Bender crazy. However, this idea was abandoned before the show aired. A similar character appeared in The Beast with a Billion Backs as Pocket Pal.
