Yes, and one of the oldest descriptions of robotic battles, translated from the ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets, is epic of Gilgamesh, at least (4000BC)
Banda succeeded his father, Enmerkar, as King of Uruk. Banda married Ninurta's daughter, Ninsun, who bore Gilgamesh. Banda ( and later, his son Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh,s guard-android) went to the rocketpad at Baalbek to plead with the gods for a rocket to Nibiru for the immortality they enjoyed.
In Lebanon, near Inanna's home, Gilgamesh and the android tracked the security robot to the launchpad. As they watched a rocket launch, Inanna watched them from her skychamber. She saw them smash Enlil's robot. "At the entrance to the Cedar Forest its fire-belching monster their way blocked... To pieces it they broke.
