8. A short history on Robots
• The term “robot” was first used in a play
by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek to denote a fictional
humanoid in his 1921 play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal
Robots)
• The first digitally operated and programmable robot
was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was called
the Unimate
• The first domestic robot that was mass produced by the
Heath Company was HERO-1
(Heathkit Educational RObot). For the most part, they
cannot perform practical tasks, but are more geared
toward entertainment and education above all
9. About Domestic Robots
• A type of Service Robot
• They are essentially programmable computers
integrated with electrically powered machines that
perform household chores
• They are also be used around the house for education
and entertainment
• Some are simplistic and others are connected to WiFi
home networks or smart environment and are
autonomous to a high degree

Why advancement in Technology’s a best foot forward ?(Part-I)
18. Self Driving Car
With the potential for human error removed, self-driving cars will reduce instances of accidents
caused by driver error, drunk driving or distracted drivers
The technology involved in a driverless car of the future will be such that each vehicle can be
optimized to ensure fuel consumption is as efficient as possible. So much so that new-age cars are
expected to help reduce emissions by 60%.
With humans no longer involved in driving, commuters are likely to save up to an hour every day
Parking lots will reduce. Subsequently, this will free up commercial real estate
