Right-click on them.

They will then be absorbed into your inventory.

But beware - whatever they are carrying will also end up there.

Once in your inventory they will be fully charged and you can release them back into the "wild".

Thank you for the suggestion, I had not thought about just picking them up.
Unfortunately that is not working Right clicking on them does apparently nothing. that was with my guy standing right next to the robot.
mouseing over the robots shows power at 0J. is there mebby a console command to charge up robots ?

Are you jure you can't just "mine" them when close enough ? I'm pretty sure I have already mined accidentally robots in the past.

If you are using mods, small-fixes mod disables the ability to mine bots.

That was the problem. disabling the "small-fixes" mod did the trick. thank you, I was a little frantic for a bit.
