Definition and
History of Robotics
1 Origins
The concept of automatons and self-
operating machines can be traced back to
ancient civilizations, such as ancient
Greece and China.

2 Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution in the 19th
century saw the development of early
industrial robots and automation
technologies.

3 Modern Robotics
The term "robot" was coined in 1920, and
the field of robotics has since evolved
rapidly, driven by advancements in
computing, sensors, and control systems.
