Robotics Revolution: Man vs Machine - Case Study on Japan - BlockDelta

The idea of'Automata' originates from the mythologies of many cultures across the globe. Early inventors and engineers from ancient civilisation such as Greek, Chinese or Ptolemaic Egyptian attempted to develop a self-operating or automated machine resembling humans and animals. The term'Robot' comes from the Czech word "Robota" refers to "Forced Work or Labor" which was first used to refer the word'Artificial Automata' in a 1920 play R.U.R (Rossum's Universal Robots) by the Czech interwar writer'Karl Capek.' In 1928, one of the first'Humanoid Robots' invented by W.H.Richards, delivered a speech in the annual event of the'Model Engineers Society' in London. The brief history shows that'Robots' are not a new innovation but is a'Thinking Machine' which is programmed by a computer and is capable of doing complex series' of actions automatically.
