- Abstract
The article focuses on the development of the concept of robotics. It mentions the author's discovery of a figure of a robot made in 1925, and also gives an overview of Karel Čapek's play "R.U.R." or "Rossum's Universal Robots." It also discusses the origins of the creation of artificial beings in literature, such as the Golem and Frankenstein's monster. Further, it notes the robot's emergence in popular culture, emphasizing the space opera "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century," and Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics.
