Etymology

The term 'robotization' originated from the word 'robot', which was first introduced in the 1920 play 'R.U.R.' by Czech writer Karel Čapek. The play depicted artificial beings created to perform labor, and the term 'robot' was derived from the Czech word 'robota', meaning forced labor. Over time, 'robotization' came to represent the process of automation and mechanization using robotic technology in various fields.
