Digital Manga Publishing was originally responsible for the North American distribution, with the first volume being released August 6, 2005. However, due to talks over publishing negotiations breaking down, DMP stopped publishing Robot after Volume 3. Rights for publications were picked up by UDON Entertainment in a collaboration with d/visual who was in charge for the translation; both began distribution on December 24, 2007 with Volume 4 with the plan of releasing all subsequent releases on a quarterly basis, but has since halted after releasing volume 5.
