≈250 B.C. - Ctesibius, an ancient Greek engineer and
mathematician, invented a water clock which was the most
accurate for nearly 2000 years.
≈60 A.D. – Hero of Alexandria designs the first automated
programmable machine. These 'Automata' were made from a
container of gradually releasing sand connected to a spindle via
a string. By using different configurations of these pulleys, it was
possible to repeatably move a statue on a pre-defined path.

≈ 1250 - Bishop Albertus Magnus holds
banquet at which guests were served by metal
attendants. Upon seeing this, Saint Thomas
Aquinas smashed the attendants to bits and
called the bishop a sorcerer.
1640 - Descartes builds a female automaton
which he calls “Ma fille Francine.” She
accompanied Descartes on a voyage and
was thrown overboard by the captain, who
thought she was the work of Satan.
13

1738 - Jacques de Vaucanson builds a
mechanical duck made of more that 4,000
parts. The duck could quack, bathe, drink
water, eat grain, digest it and void it.
Whereabouts of the duck are unknown
today.
1805 - Doll, made by Maillardet, that wrote
in either French or English and could draw
landscapes.
14
ROBOTICS

1898 - The first radio-controlled submersible boat was invented by
Nikola Tesla.
1921 - The term "robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called
"R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel
Capek. The plot was simple: man makes robot then robot kills
man! Many movies that followed continued to show robots as
harmful, menacing machines. Robot comes from the Czech word
robota, which means “servitude, forced labor.”
15
ROBOTICS

Robotics was first introduced into our vocabulary by Czech playwright
Karel Capek in his 1920’s play Rossum’s Universal Robots.
The word “robota” in Czech means simply work. Robots as machines
that resemble people, work tirelessly, and revolt against their creators. .
Karel Capek
The same myth/concept is found in
many books/movies today:
“Terminator”, “Star-Wars” series.
Mary Shelley’s 1818 Frankenstein.
Frankenstein & The Borg are examples
of “cybernetic organisms”.
16
ROBOTICS

1940 - Sparko, the Westinghouse dog, uses both
mechanical and electrical components.
1941 - Isaac Asimov introduced the word 'Robotics' in
the science fiction short story 'Liar!‘
1948 - William Grey Walter builds Elmer and Elsie, two of
the earliest autonomous robots with the appearance of
turtles. The robots used simple rules to produce complex
behaviors.
Cybernetics is a discipline that was created in the late
1940’s by Norbert Wiener, combining feedback control
theory, information sciences and biology to try to explain
the common principles of control and communications in
both animals and machines.
History of Robotics

1950`s - Computer technology advances and control machinery is
developed.
Questions Arise: Is the computer an immobile robot?
1954 - The first silicon transistor was produced by Texas
Instruments.
1954 – George Devol replaced the slave manipulator in a
teleoperator with the programmability of the CNC controller, thus
creating the first “industrial robot”, called the “Programmable
Article Transfer Device”.

ROBOTICS

1955 – The Darmouth Summer Research Conference marks the birth
of AI. Marvin Minsky, from the AI lab at MIT defines an intelligent
machine as one that would tend to “build up within itself an abstract
model of the environment in which it is placed. If it were given a
problem, it could first explore solutions within the internal abstract
model of the environment and then attempt external experiments”.
This approach dominated robotics research for the next 30 years.
1956 - Researchers aim to combine “perceptual and problem-solving
capabilities,” using computers, cameras, and touch sensors. The idea
is to study the types of intelligent actions these robots are capable of.
A new discipline is born: A.I.

1956 - Joseph Engleberger, a Columbia physics student buys
the rights to Devol’s robot and founds the Unimation Company.
1956 - George Devol applied for a patent for the first
programmable robot, later named 'Unimate'.
1957 - Launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1.

• 1960`s - Industrial Robots created. Robotic Industries
Association states that an “industrial robot is a re-programmable,
multifunctional manipulator designed to move materials, parts,
tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed
motions to perform a variety of tasks”.
Robot Institute of America, 1979

ROBOTICS

• 1961 - The first Unimate robot is installed in a Trenton, NJ General
Motors plant to tend a die casting machine. The key was the
reprogrammability and retooling of the machine to perform different tasks.
The Unimate robot was an innovative mechanical design based on a multi-
degree of freedom cantilever beam. The beam flexibility presented
challenges for control. Hydraulic actuation was eventually used to alleviate
precision problems.
• 1962 – 1963 – The introduction of sensors is seen as a way to enhance
the operation of robots. This includes force sensing for stacking blocks
(Ernst, 1961), vision system for binary decision for presence of obstacles
in the environment (McCarthy 1963), pressure sensors for grasping
(Tomovic and Boni, 1962). Robot interaction with an unstructured
environment at MIT’s AI lab (Man and Computer – MAC project).

• 1965 - Gordon E. Moore introduces the concept 'Moore's law', which
predicts the number of components on a single chip would double
every two years.
• 1966 – 1968 'Shakey‘, a mobile robot is developed by SRI (Stanford
Research Institute). 'Shakey' was capable of planning, route-finding
and moving objects. It was placed in a special room with specially
colored objects. A vision system would recognize objects and pushed
objects according to a plan. This planning software was STRIPS, and it
maintained and updated a world model. The robot had pan/tilt and focus
for the camera, and bump sensors.
• 1968 – Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan acquires a license for
Unimate.
• 1969 - The Apollo 11 mission, puts the first man on the moon.
Landing was made inside the Lunar Module 'Eagle'.

Should robots look like humans?
“anthropomorphic or humanoid robots”.
Need for these machines to also be
intelligent - link to “Artificial Intelligence
(AI)”.
Need for humans to create machines
similar to them is rooted in religious beliefs,
recommended reading “God in the
Machine” by Anne Foerst
It is not the appearance of the robot that
most connects it to humans: HAL in “Space
Odyssey 2001”, Lt. Data in “Startrek-
TNG”, R2D2 and C3PO in “Star Wars”.
Which one is more “likeable” and why?
History of Robotics
42
ROBOTICS

Robots need not look like humanoids, but they make use of:
Strong & precise articulated arms to accomplish tasks that
were performed by humans – “articulated robots”, or
“manipulators”. Fear that they will replace human
laborers.
Use of mobility to reposition the robot from one location to
another, “mobile robots”. This can be done by locomotion
like humans do (“legged robots”), but most likely it will
use other means such as wheels (“wheeled robots”).
History of Robotics

ROBOTICS

• Robotics is a multi-disciplinary field. Best robotics
researchers and engineers will touch upon all disciplines:
• Mechanical Engineering – concerned primarily with
manipulator/mobile robot design, kinematics, dynamics,
compliance and actuation.
• Electrical Engineering – concerned primarily with robot
actuation, electronic interfacing to computers and
sensors, and control algorithms.
• Computer Science – concerned primarily with robot
programming, planning, and intelligent behavior.
