  1. Karel Capek Invented the first robot (1921).


  2. Many ancient mythologies include artificial people, such as the mechanical servants built by the Greek god Hephaestus (Vulcan to the Romans), the clay golems of Jewish legend and clay giants of Norse legend, and Galatea, the mythical statue of Pygmalion that came to life.

    In the 4th century BC, the Greek mathematician Archytas of Tarentum postulated a mechanical bird he called "The Pigeon" which was propelled by steam. Hero of Alexandria (10–70 AD) created numerous "programmable" automated devices, including one that allegedly could speak. Su Song built a clock tower in China in 1088 featuring mechanical figurines that chimed the hours.

    Al-Jazari (1136-1206), an Arab Muslim inventor during the Artuqid dynasty, designed and constructed a number of automatic machines, including kitchen appliances, musical automata powered by water, and the first programmable humanoid robot in 1206.

    One of the first recorded designs of a humanoid robot was made by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) around 1495. Da Vinci's notebooks, rediscovered in the 1950s, contain detailed drawings of a mechanical knight now known as Leonardo's robot, able to sit up, wave its arms and move its head and jaw.  The design was probably based on anatomical research recorded in his Vitruvian Man. It is not known whether he attempted to build it.

    Jacques de Vaucanson built an early automaton in 1738: a mechanical duck that was able to eat grain, flap its wings, and give the illusion of digesting its food by excreting matter stored in a hidden compartment.

    In 1898 Nikola Tesla publicly demonstrated a radio-controlled torpedo. Based on patents for "teleautomation", Tesla hoped to develop it into a weapon system for the US Navy.

    In 1926, Westinghouse Electric Corporation created Televox, the first robot put to useful work. They followed Televox with a number of other simple robots, including one called Rastus, made in the crude image of a black man. In the 1930s, they created a humanoid robot known as Elektro for exhibition purposes, including the 1939 and 1940 World's Fairs.

    In 1928, Japan's first robot, Gakutensoku, was designed and constructed by biologist Makoto Nishimura.

    The first electronic autonomous robots were created by William Grey Walter of the Burden Neurological Institute at Bristol, England in 1948 and 1949. They were named Elmer and Elsie. These robots could sense light and contact with external objects, and use these stimuli to navigate.

    It wasn't until the second half of the twentieth century, when integrated circuits were invented, and computers began to double rapidly in power, that it became possible to build robots as we imagine them. Until that time, automatons were the closest things to robots, and while they may have looked humanoid, and their movements were complex, they were not capable of the self-control and decision making that robots are today.

    The first truly modern robot, digitally operated, programmable, and teachable, was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was ultimately called the Unimate.The first Unimate was personally sold by Devol to General Motors in 1960 and installed in 1961 in a plant in Trenton, New Jersey to lift hot pieces of metal from a die casting machine and stack them.


  3. DaVinci invented a working robot, it was handled more like a puppet, but it had internal workings that would make it move just like a person.  It only lacked motors to make it work.
