History of Robotics - The Origins of Robots
≈250 B.C. - Ctesibius, an ancient Greek engineer and
mathematician, invented a water clock which was the most
accurate for nearly 2000 years.
≈60 A.D. – Hero of Alexandria designs the first automated
programmable machine. These 'Automata' were made from a
container of gradually releasing sand connected to a spindle via
a string. By using different configurations of these pulleys, it was
possible to repeatably move a statue on a pre-defined path.

History of Robotics - The Origins of Robots
≈ 1250 - Bishop Albertus Magnus holds
banquet at which guests were served by metal
attendants. Upon seeing this, Saint Thomas
Aquinas smashed the attendants to bits and
called the bishop a sorcerer.
1640 - Descartes builds a female automaton
which he calls “Ma fille Francine.” She
accompanied Descartes on a voyage and
was thrown overboard by the captain, who
thought she was the work of Satan.

History of Robotics - The Origins of Robots
1738 - Jacques de Vaucanson builds a
mechanical duck made of more that 4,000
parts. The duck could quack, bathe, drink
water, eat grain, digest it and void it.
Whereabouts of the duck are unknown
today.
1805 - Doll, made by Maillardet, that wrote
in either French or English and could draw
landscapes.

History of Robotics - The Origins of Robots
1898 - The first radio-controlled submersible boat was invented by
Nikola Tesla.
1921 - The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called
"R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel
Capek. The plot was simple: man makes robot then robot kills
man! Many movies that followed continued to show robots as
harmful, menacing machines. Robot comes from the Czech word
robota, which means “servitude, forced labor.”

History of Robotics - The Origins of Robots
Robotics was first introduced into our vocabulary by Czech playwright
Karel Capek in his 1920’s play Rossum’s Universal Robots.
The word “robota” in Czech means simply work. Robots as machines
that resemble people, work tirelessly, and revolt against their creators. .
The same myth/concept is found in
many books/movies today:
“Terminator”, “Star-Wars” series.
Mary Shelley’s 1818 Frankenstein.
Frankenstein & The Borg are examples
Karel Capek of “cybernetic organisms”.
