The History of Robots

The history of robots date at least as far back as ancient myths and legends.

Digitally controlled Industrial robots and robots making use of Artificial intelligence have been built since the 1960s.

 

Robotics in Antiquity

- There is only one condition in which we can imagine managers not needing subordinates, and masters not needing slaves. This condition would be that each instrument could do its own work, at the word of command or by intelligent anticipation, like the statues of Daedalus or the tripods made by Hephaestus, of which Homer relates that

'Of their own motion they entered the conclave of Gods on Olympus' 

as if a shuttle should weave of itself, and a plectrum should do its own harp playing.
