How about Slave Mentality (Species Specific, -20%) [-32]. They'll obey orders, slavishly (like a djinni) but only if the order is given by a Human. If necessary, Per based reaction check.

Problem with Slave mentality is the "You have no initiative, and become confused and ineffectual without a "master" to give you orders."

Most robots aren't like that, they have initiative, at least within their jobs. Many won't so this works for those... I guess putting an accessability limitation on this so that their job isn't included in the "no initiative" situation?
