The Origin Of Robots In Pop Culture
- Robots have been a staple of science fiction movies for decades, and we now have robots of all shapes and sizes in real life.
- The conceptualization of an entity which is not human and yet displays human-like characteristics along with special traits like perfect memory and work-efficiency was done by Karl Čapek in a play titled R.U.R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots in 1921, exactly hundred years ago.
- The term robot was borrowed from a Czech word ‘robota’ which means forced labourer or slave.
