I didn't make the connection cause it doesn't look like a robot to me. What it reminded me of was the woman (who's standing) in this painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, however with a more athletic figure.

Regarding the abstract part, here is the artist's own explanation:-

...artist Maggi Hambling said that her work "involves this tower of intermingling female forms culminating in the figure of the woman at the top who is challenging, and ready to challenge, the world."
I thought saw females wrapped in wrapped something a cocoon, or maybe Egyptian cotton sheets, but I only saw the one picture and couldn't be sure. I chalked it up to pareidolia.
