You need the bot building device that's found in the Hobby/Enertainment section (it looks like a machine with a big egg on it, kind of like the teleportation device from that remake of The Fly with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis). Then you click on the machine and do design nanite and design trait chip. Nanites are like electronic bugs, They crawl around on the ground, and there are a bunch of different types you'll need to learn to make to trait chips.
You build skills by designing ,and once you know how to make them, making the nanites and trait chips. You can also buy the Bot skill books to speed up the learning curve.Nanites can be made or caught. You can find them crawling around in Futureland. Or, from the buydebug menu, add some nanite spawners to your current world (my lazy ass approach). The advantage of catching a nanite is you can the "reverse engineer" it, by clicking on it, and you get the knowledge of how it works, s you can make more yourself, and a bunch of generic circuit boards, which you'll need to make the trait chips, once you learn how.
If you have a bot emporium, either in Futureland, or one added to your current world, you can also buy nanites, trait chips, and special mood infused crystals, which you'll need for certain trait chips. The crystals can be grown in your garden, planted like a seed, to harvest a bunch of them.
Hope the 2 minute bot story helps. There are more complete descriptions of the bot building process in some game guides, like the one at simsvip that can give you more detailed info, but that's the basics you'll need to get going.
