This bedding from Land of Nod is adorable and I'm sure you could buy one of the duvets to fashion into curtains or a bumper pad/bedskirt. The orange & aqua & grey looks really cute together.
this looks diy-able --

something simple you could do is find some paper you like and mod-podge it onto all your lightswitch and outlet faceplates. LOVE robot rooms!
I have actually bought many things from Etsy because I myself have been decorating my son's room and I love the robot theme, I bought those sheets from the land of nod and stuck with the grey blue and orange colors:

Also, I used etsy a lot when putting together my nursery. There are a lot of cute robot themed nursery items there. A quick search came up with crib bedding, prints and more -

Good luck - I love nurseries that are original and this seems like a great theme to me!
I DIYed the Mogi Robot Cabinet for my daughters room; it was really easy and only took a few hours. All the supplies were from Michael's.
Beasmom- How did you DIY the Mogi cabinet? It seems like the perfect addition for my son's new room.
How about these fun hooks at ROMP

Greta idea to paint cogs and wheels on the walls!
my sons room is "robots in space" and we have vinyl gears on the wall, a gigantic diy letter A in a frame on the wall made out of the robot paper from paper source, gray gradient striped walls, the outer space bedding from boodalee, robot hooks from romp that i spray painted blue to match the bedding from boodalee...
