Brief information about robotics. History of robotics Children under one year of age

The origin of the word "robot".
The word "robot" was coined in 1920 by Karel Kapek and his brother Joseph Kapek. Karel was a Czech writer who invented words to name artificial creatures in his work. Dissatisfied with the word laboři (or Latin “workers”), his brother suggested the robot from the Latin word robot (meaning “surf labor”).
In 1944, science fiction writer Isaak Asimov decided to expand it and introduced the word “robotics” to use in the story “Flight”. He later repeated this book in many of his books, which contributed to the popularity and use of the word.
What was the first robot in the world?
In addition to mythological tales involving mechanical servants built by Greek gods, clay golems of Jewish legend, and Scandinavian clay giants, the real robot was invented by the Greek mathematician Architas in the 4th century BC. the steamer bird called him "Pigeon."
The bird is suspended from the end of a rotating rod, the device is believed to rotate under layers of compressed air and steam. Information about the "pigeons" is found in the writings of Alexandria Geroni, who described it as "controlled by water, rotating weight, and steam." This is not only the first known robot, but also the first documented record of a scientist trying to figure out how birds fly.
What about modern robots?
Robots and robotics are evolving at a rapid pace. We sent robots into space to study planets, nuclear reactors, and even a war on terror instead of soldiers. The industry itself is developing in an unpredictable but exciting way. For example, the robot shown in the video below is a robot pop star who sings and dances for the audience:
PS: The first person killed by a robot was Kenji Urada in 1981. Urada was repairing a broken robot at a factory in Kawasaki, Japan. Unable to turn it off completely, the robot pushed it into the grinder, resulting in its death.

A robot (Czech robot, from a robot - forced labor, a robber - a slave) has an anthropomorphic (human-like) behavior that partially or completely performs the functions of a human (sometimes an animal) in interaction with the outside world. lgan car. The first mention of humanoid machines can be found in ancient Greek mythology. The term “robot” was first introduced by K. Chapek in the play “RUR”. (1920), where robots are called mechanical humans. Today, robotics has become an advanced field: thousands of industrial robots work in various enterprises around the world, underwater manipulators have become an indispensable assistant for underwater research and rescue machines, space research is based on the widespread use of robots at different levels. intelligence.
With the development of robotics, 3 types of robots have been identified:
 with a firm action program;
 manipulators controlled by a human operator;
 with artificial intelligence (sometimes also called integral), to act purposefully (“intelligently”) without human intervention.
Most modern robots (all three types) - Robots - manipulators Although there are other types of robots (e.g., information, walking, etc.). First- and second-class robots can be combined by distributing the operating time on a single machine. It is allowed to work with robots of the third type (in control mode).
The first robots ( "androids" , imitating human movement and appearance) were used primarily for entertainment purposes. Since the 30s. Robots related to the automation of production - Automata began to be used in industry, along with traditional means of automation of technological processes, especially in small production and especially in workshops with harmful working conditions.
