REAL ROBOTS
The word ‘robot’ was coined in 1921 by a Czech playwright. In his play Rossum’s Universal Robots, Karel Čapek told a story about life-like machines getting fed up with their human creators and taking over the world. We need not fear, though. We can see plenty of examples of robotics in our daily lives and so far, they only make our lives easier.
