Definition of a Robot

Robot is an automatic device that performs
functions normally ascribed to human or a
machine in the form of a human by using
computer technology.

History of Robotics

The term derived from Czech word 'robota'

At first robots were introduced by the poets and
writers in their poems and fictional stories.

Real robots were only possible in the 1950's and
1960's with the introduction of transistors and
Integrated circuits.

First commercial robot­ 'Unimate'
