Movie about robots
I vaguely remember this movie about what seemed to be humanoid like robots living as a family in a junkyard. If I remember correctly the premise of the movie was that robots had specific tasks and they were treated lesser than humans. I believe the "robot son" was the main character of the movie. That's about all I know

Is it possible you refer to the CGI movie titled Robots? The main character is a robot named Rodney Copperbottom who leaves his parents and goes to the big city to work as an inventor for his childhood (for lack of a better word) hero Mr. Bigweld- only to find out Bigweld has been deposed as head of Bigweld Industries by the sinister putz Ratchet, an elitist who favors rich robots who can afford expensive upgrades over the poor who need spare parts. In his quest to topple Ratchet Rodney befriends a family of robots voiced by Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey and the late Robin Williams.

The movie that your talking about is called "Astro Boy"
- The main character is an inventors son who had been killed then remade as a robot to look exactly like his son.
- The people and robots lived together up on a floating "island" were the robots served the people and when the robots broke they would get thrown down to the surface.
- AT some point in the movie Astro Boy is sent down to the surface and meets a bunch of orphans(who he lies to by saying he's a kid like them).

One memorable movie that has some of these elements, is Automata, with
Antonio Banderas (2014). Much of the action takes place in a salvage
yard, where a pair of robots have an infant... sort of.
The backdrop to the action is a human race in decline, small settlements
separated by vast wastelands after some sort of catastrophe.
For those who recall Karel Capek's play, R.U.R., the plot will seem
familiar.
