🤖 The most famous robots in history

in #life6 years ago (edited)

While there are hundreds of incredible robots to choose from throughout history, here you will find the most important and memorable ones.

Few years are left to the word "robot" to celebrate its 100th anniversary, so what better way to open mouth to face this event than to review the most famous fiction robots throughout history.

The word "robot" comes from the Czech word "robota", which means "bondage" or "slavery" and first appeared in January 1920 in the work of the Czechoslovak dramatist Karel Capek (1890-1938) called "Rossums Universal Robots, RUR ", in which the protagonist Harry Domin, creates a company in the middle of the ocean dedicated to the manufacture of creatures with the appearance of human beings with the purpose of using them as cheap labor. Everything goes smoothly until Dr. Gall, head of the Department of Psychology of Universal Robots Rossum, gives soul to these robotic creatures. The outcome is the expected: the androids rebel for being enslaved and declare war on the human race.

Despite the fact that tragedy and violence have often been a recurring theme in robot-related issues, humans have always been fascinated by them. The first stories of robots go back to ancient China in the third century BC, where a curious description in a text by Lie Zi (one of the three fundamental works of philosophical Taoism), describes an artificial humanoid that could imitate human actions.

As our society and technology advance, so does the creativity and reach of robotic knowledge that has presented robots as more than mere mechanical servers, even as superheroes.

We make a journey through robotics in the world of fiction.

R2-D2

I could not miss in this R2D2 Star Wars list. We never knew what the little robot said with its sounds, but we needed to talk to him to know his attitude to life. R2D2 belonged to the defense forces in Naboo serving King Veruna during his term. Subsequently, it was incorporated into the Rebel Alliance. Despite the protests of C-3PO, Luke Skywalker's astromech droid was in the habit of saving the galaxy.

Created in: 1977
Creator: George Lucas

HK-47

The HK-47 robot appeared in the Star Wars video game 'Knights of the Old Republic'. No doubt it is a legendary robot in fiction, it was very shocking to see how a robot lined up in the Dark Side of the Force. The truth is that the robotic killer HK-47 was very valuable both for his skill on the battlefield and his hilarious and psychotic comments. For him, all the "bags of meat" were the same.

Created in: 2003
Creator: James Ohlen and Drew Karpyshyn

Rosie from The Jetsons

Rescued from the scrap heap, Rosie (or Robotina) was a robot-maid. This robotic servant, very dear to all, kept the house of the Jetsons in order, dispensing wisdom with her curious Jersey accent.

Created in: 1962
Creator: William Hanna and Joseph Barbera

Tachikomas

Tachikomas are arachnid-looking robots with an AI and the ability to carry a human pilot inside. They appeared in Ghost in the Shell, the well-known science fiction manga created by Masamune Shirow and delighted the fans for their curious, loyal character and a very childish personality.

Created in: 1989
