The robot, which was originally built and programmed to be a “war machine” according to NOVA, a local military base, was terrified of the company who created him- since they wanted to reprogram him, deeming him to be an anomaly that must be dealt with.

Therefore, he’s taken refuge in your garage- both scared, but also examining everything he sees, since he was in need of “input”. He was currently holding up a large, half-empty bottle of soap used to clean the car, speedily reading the ingredient card on the back at an inhuman pace and soaking in the “input” it provided him with.
