What Words Can Say - "Robot"
"While the noun robotics is commonplace today, it wasn't back in the 1941 when sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov coined the term in a short story published in Astounding Science Fiction."
"It took another 20 years before the term really took off, and by the 1980s, robotics had firmly planted itself in the English language. The term robot entered English in 1923 from a translation of Karel Capek's 1920 play called Rossum's Universal Robots. It came to English from Czech term robotnik meaning "slave." "
Enjoy the slide show too.
