Thank you.
So, if you the word connected is used, it should #1: electricity is connected to the robot, instead of the electricity, is that it?

onizoelectricity is being pumped into the robot.Electricity cannot be pumped like a liquid.
The robot can be connected to a battery, which provides a source of electric power.

Ok. Here the main idea isn't about which profer vocabulary to use.

Generally, there is no article with "electricity."
Electricity is a major source of power for heating and lighting.
When you are talking about something specific, use the definite article.
The electricity I buy is generated by renewable resources such as wind generators.
The electricity generated by the Niagara Falls hydroelectric power station is used by the city

Absolutely fine to say 'Electricity is flowing into him' even though it is not strictly correct. This implies a continuous source of electricity. The electricity... implies that some chunk of electricity is flowing from somewhere else into the robot. 'I filled the capacitor with electricity and now the electricity is flowing into him.
