I don't understand Robocop being on this list.

Robocop definitely wasn't an AI.

ED-209 would be a stretch, it was portrayed as more of a programmed robo-guard-dog without any ability to reason or make decisions outside of its programming.

Robocop was a cyborg - a human being enhanced with robotic parts, including parts of his brain - the technology integrated into his system did have AI components. These components helped him process information, make decisions, and complete tasks more efficiently.
