Historical Review
The world robot is derived from the Czech word Robota which literally means forced laborer or slave laborer, and was first used in 1921 and introduced by Czech playwright Karel Capek (1890-1938). The use of the word robot was introduced into his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) which opened in Prague in January 1921. In R.U.R., Capek poses a paradise, where the machines initially bring so many benefits but in the end bring an equal amount of blight in the form of unemployment and social unrest.

The word robotics was first used in Runaround, a short story published in 1942, by Isaac Asimov (born Jan. 2, 1920, died Apr. 6, 1992). I, Robot , a collection of several of these stories, was published in 1950. The Three Rules (or Laws) of Robotics 1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow one to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given by human being except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with The First or Second Laws.

Definition of Robot is  A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human.

Jika ROBOT DIDESKRIPSIKAN SEBAGAI “ MANUSIA MESIN
maka Robot “ mestinya ” memiliki kemampuan:
• Aktuasi seperti manusia: kaki ( mobile ), tangan ( manipulate ), etc.
• Sensorik seperti manusia: perasa, pendengaran, penglihatan ( visual/vision ),
keseimbangan (torsi), sensor posisi & kecepatan (gerak), etc.
• Kecerdasan seperti manusia: pertimbangan, pengambilan keputusan, selalu belajar,
bersikap dinamis, etc.

Conclusion
Di kalangan umum pengertian robot selalu dikaitkan dengan "makhluk hidup" berbentuk orang maupun binatang yang terbuat dari logam dan bertenaga listrik (mesin). Sementara itu dalam arti luas robot Adalah suatu alat yang dalam batas-batas tertentu dapat bekerja sendiri (otomatis) sesuai dengan perintah yang sudah diberikan oleh perancangnya. Dengan pengertian ini sangat erat hubungan antara robot dan otomatisasi sehingga dapat dipahami bahwa hampir setiap aktivitas kehidupan modern makin tergantung pada robot dan otomatisasi.
