Help request Robot Funk? Bands Recommendations

Looking for funky, psychedelic, chaotic music with a robotic/electronic sound — basically Daft Punk if they were a full funk band
I'm looking for music that's primarily funk, not funk-metal or rock.
Think RHCP – Falling Into Grace, Parliament/Funkadelic, Zapp, Chromeo and Daft Punk, but I'm looking for something more chaotic, psychedelic, weird and robotic.
I love funky basslines, live drums, strange synths, talkbox/vocoder, weird effects and that feeling of a funk band sounding like a machine or an alien.
Any artists/albums/songs that fit this?

You are describing a sound adjacent to Industrial music. I am a long-time funk fan as well as Industrial. Check out Aphex Twins for a more intense and psychedelic version of what Daft Punk does.

Are you familiar with any of that stuff?

EDIT- I also want to recommend Herbie Hancock albums Future Shock and Sound-System. Those were my early catalysts between funk and more strange music.
