Hello! Today, I will be bringing one, interesting topic. We are gonna talk about Robotics.

Let’s start with a brief history, shall we?

Well, the word Robot was first introduced by the famous, Czech science-fiction writer, Karel Capek in a play he made called Rossum’s Universal Robots, also known as RUR. He used the word to describe an artificial person. Before him, Robots were referred as androids or automatons, meaning “self operating machine”.

(Of course, there are different other terms for robotics systems and they existed since B.C., but I’m gonna talk about recent work.)

The first industrial robot ever made, was in 1954 by an inventor called George Devol. It was digitally operated and programmable, its name was Uminate. In 1956, George and his partner Joseph Engelberger, formed the world’s first robot company.

Now, what is a Robot?
