Word origin

The word 'robotic' is derived from the word 'robot', which was first introduced by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play 'R.U.R.' (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1920. The term 'robot' originally referred to artificial creatures created to perform tasks for humans. Over time, 'robotic' has come to describe not only technology related to robots but also behavior that is mechanical or lacking in human warmth.
