Robot comes from the word roboto, that is work, no? If it can do autonomous work, it is a robot.

Yeah, so calling this a robot would be incorrect.

It would be more of a robot part with the rest of the robot being the magnet

Technically, maybe. Pretty limited applications, I think, but very cool.
