Abstract

The term robot first came into use about 1923, following the appearance of a play by the Czech author Karel Capek, called Rossum’s Universal Robots. In this play artificial creatures strictly obeyed their master’s order. These creatures were called ‘robots’, a word derived from the Czech robota, meaning ‘to work’. In common usage a robot still means an apparently human automaton, intelligent and obedient but impersonal. A scientific definition is, for example, given by the Robot Institute of America (RIA):

A robot is a reprogrammable and multifunctional manipulator, devised for the transport of materials, parts, tools or specialized systems, with varied and programmed movements, with the aim of carrying out varied tasks.
