There is an important consideration that will most likely help this discussion. People commonly exchange medieval for feudal and vice-versa, but if we look closer, all PS games show worlds in a feudal state, though only PSIII has a medieval setting.
In all PS, people are gathered inside the cities' walls for protection, there is no transportation (either it was forbidden or not implemented for safety reasons) and no trading. In PSII there is teleport, but even so there is no one living outside the major cities and both space traveling and navigation is not being done. So, with all the technology, the PS world is a feudal system. This make the theory of Orakians using the technology to manufacture robots in accordance to PS world.
There is another point: in PSII, almost nobody worked (you see people saying "Why should I work for a living?") because the automatic systems were so developed that they could run themselves without human interference. PSIII society was originated by PSII palmians, PSIII early setting would be like in PSII. Despite the medieval setting, there are still some systems working (satellites, weather control, the ship itself) and people taking care of them (Wren, the pilots, Siren, etc). Even if the technology is not shown like in PSII, it is still there. So there is no impediment to the theory that the cyborg (incorrect term, by the way, they are technically androids) were still being manufactured the same old way.
As for the monsters, well, monsters always appeared out of nowhere in PS worlds. By the way, most of the monsters in all PS games are either wild animals or humanoids, so they may have many different origins. Monsters in PSI may be just wild animals, genetically engineered wild animals (either by magic or by systems, the last case being operated the same way the cyborg-making systems), evil people and supernatural, the last being made by Dark Force. All the possibilities in accordance to other PS games, so with PS world.
