For centuries people have dreamed of having a perfect slave - a robot worker to do their work for them. The name "robot" was first used in 1920, in a play called Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Capek, a Czechoslovakian science fiction author. The term "robot" is derived from the Czech word "robota", meaning "forced labour". The origin of robots goes as far back in history as the prehistoric man himself. The Stone Age man made the first simple stone tools. With the passage of time, the wheel, the lever and the pulley were invented. These aids multiplied the power of the human muscle, though man still had to control them.
