Did you know the idea of robots dates back thousands of years?
Ancient civilizations built mechanical devices that mimicked life.
The Greeks had the legendary Talos, a giant bronze automaton that guarded Crete.
In China, inventors created intricate clockwork figures that could move.
These early machines weren’t robots as we know them, but they laid the foundation for future innovations.
The dream of artificial life has been with us for centuries!

Fast forward to the 15th century, and we see Leonardo da Vinci designing one of the first humanoid
robots.
His mechanical knight, built with pulleys and gears, could sit, wave, and even move its head.
Though never fully realized, it showed the potential of robotics.
Centuries later, in the 18th century, automaton makers created intricate machines that could write, draw, and play music.
These marvels amazed audiences and pushed the boundaries of engineering.

The Industrial Revolution brought a new wave of automation.
Factories introduced mechanical arms and steam-powered machines to increase production.
By the 20th century, robots became more sophisticated.
In 1921, the word 'robot' was coined in the play R.U.R.
by Karel Čapek.
Soon after, real robots emerged, like George Devol’s Unimate, the first industrial robot, which revolutionized manufacturing.
Robotics was no longer just a dream—it was becoming reality!

By the late 20th century, robots were entering homes and research labs.
Honda’s ASIMO, introduced in 2000, was one of the first humanoid robots capable of walking and interacting with
people.
Meanwhile, AI-driven robots like IBM’s Deep Blue and Boston Dynamics’ creations pushed the limits of machine intelligence and
mobility.
Robots were no longer just tools—they were becoming companions, assistants, and even competitors in games like chess!
