A Text Book of Robot & Robotics

The word robot is derived from the word robota which is a slave or forced labour in Czech. We will assign the robot some jobs and it will carry them out exactly like a servant. This is similar to having a servant.         Karel Capek coined the phrase robot in the year 1921. A writer from the Czech Republic by the name of Karel Capek it was titled Rossums Universal Robot (R.U.R). Additionally he coined the phrase robota or the robot in that specific drama. However he described the robot in the following way: it had a human-like appearance. However there are certain robots that we utilise now that dont resemble people. So in reality this is how the term robot was first used in 1921. However there was not a single robot in existence at the time.         The term robot has been defined in a variety of ways throughout the literature. This is nothing more than an automated machine for instance the Oxford English Dictionary defines a robot as a machine capable of carrying out a complicated set of tasks automatically especially one programmable by a computer. The robot is therefore described as an autonomously controlled reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator programmable in three or more axes which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications by ISO or the International Organization for Standardization.
