If you think that there is thinking and research about robots only in modern times, it is wrong because thinking and research about this came from ancient humans. Robots in the past have been developing since the time when humans started creating machines, but the difference is in how they are called.
Robots are things that do what humans can do. Therefore,
robots have always come based on automation. Machines designed to do
specific tasks without intelligence were considered robots in the early days.
Automatic doors are robots because humans open and close the
door, but if the doors open and close themselves, these automatic doors are
also considered robots. It is believed that in the 15th century, Leonardo da
Vinci created a robot knight in 1495 that could move human-shaped arms and
legs. From automatic wheels to self-operated machines, everything is the
function of robots.

Development of Robots
The correct and systematic thinking about robots was
introduced to this world through Isaac Asimov because everything in ancient
times was created with the idea of creating a machine that could operate
automatically, but it was Isaac Asimov who introduced the concept of a robot
that could do human tasks.
He was the one who made robots a separate scientific field
and made them important in the future world. He first introduced the three main
laws of robotics in the short story Runaround. Many of the world's inventions
have come through stories because man imagines the future and science and
transforms it into a story.
The story of scientific progress is the story of scientists
who try to make these stories a reality and make the story a reality. Although
Isaac Asimov's short stories introduced robots, in 1954, George Devol designed
the first technological robot, the Unimate. In 1961, the Unimate robot was used
for industrial use at the General Motors factory. Robots have been manufactured
commercially since 1990. The Sony AIBO robot, dog robot, etc. have been
created.
In the present time, many humanoid robots are being created
and they are being created as robots with artificial intelligence. Humanoid
robots are considered the most important robots for human-machine interaction.
The idea of robots first emerged in the 300th century BC by
the Greeks. In general, the contribution of the Greeks in the field of
education, especially in the field of science and technology, is very
important. Although there were attempts by Leo Da Vinci in the 15th century and
Jacques de Vauxhall's attempts on instruments in the 18th century, the word
robot itself first appeared in 1921.
The first industrial robot is considered to be the Unimate
robot, which was created in 1954. People who imagined that robots would come
have now started using robots easily. Those who used to say that robots would
only be in industry have started using robots even for household work. There
are many robots for entertainment and sports nowadays.
Some of the popular robots that exist today.
One of the most popular robots among the robots that exist
today is the robot called Sophia. It was created by the company Hanson Robotics
in 2016. An interesting piece of information that many people do not know yet
is that for the first time in the world, a robot has obtained citizenship.
In 2019, this robot called Sophia in Saudi Arabia was
considered the first robot to obtain citizenship in the world. This robot is a
robot with artificial intelligence and is capable of expressing many facial
expressions like a human. Robots can do human jobs, but only humans can show
facial expressions. This robot is considered a very good artificial
intelligence robot because it can do that job. Similarly, the special feature of
this robot is that it can speak like humans and understand emotions.
A very interesting and slightly different robot is the
Humanoid Robot created by Boston Dynamics. Before that, a dog-shaped robot was
first created. These are currently popular for surveillance and security. Such
robots are currently being used for the security of the US President. They are
capable of carrying objects up to 14 kg. These robots are used to walk on
difficult terrain. One of the best robots created by Boston Dynamics is a robot
called Atlas. Many interesting videos about this robot have been published on
the Internet.
If you search for the name Atlas Robot, you will find
interesting videos about these robots. This is a great robot for adventure, and
this robot is being used in difficult construction tasks.
The Da Vinci Surgical System is the world's best medical
robot. This robot is used for treatment tasks because it can operate
accurately. These robots are used in the medical field because they are
designed to help doctors. This robot is considered the best medical robot
because it helps doctors administer medicine to injuries.
The Roomba robot is the most widely used in homes today to make household chores easier. The Roomba robot is an automatic vacuum cleaner robot designed by a company called iRobot to clean the house on its own and at a specific time. It is an excellent vacuum cleaner robot because these robots operate without falling down thanks to some of the sensors in them.
The ASIMO robot is the world's most advanced humanoid robot
because it walks, speaks, and moves like a human. These artificially
intelligent robots can understand human emotions and analyze
complex human thoughts. Many people say that these robots are similar to how
humans climb stairs when climbing stairs.
Many robots have been developed by NASA to use such robots
underwater. Ocean Exploration Robots are being used to find sunken ships and
study rare fish species.
Optimus Robot is a robot that is capable of carrying 56
kilograms of material in order to become a good worker. It is considered a robot
that can act like a worker. This robot, developed by Tesla, is being used for
excellent factory applications. This robot simplifies many difficult tasks that
humans can do in factories. It is considered a robot that can accurately
evaluate and operate anything automatically.
A robot called Pepper Robot is used as a receptionist in
shopping malls and restaurants. This Pepper Robot is considered a social robot
because it is created as a robot that can communicate with people in public
places to welcome them, understand them and share the information they need.
Some robots that will come in the future
Ameca is a modern humanoid robot that is being developed by a
company called Engineering Arts. This robot is being developed as a robot that
can act like a human and show human emotions in its facial expressions and
movements. Generally, this robot is being developed to use it
for business services such as customer care. This robot is being developed as a
communication robot with excellent speech skills that can attract humans to answer various questions.
In the future, a fully
automatic kitchen robot is going to come into the world for the first time. A
kitchen robot is being developed by a company called Moley Robotics. This robot
is being developed specially to prepare various types of food. This
robot can prepare more than 5000 dishes. It is being developed as a robot that
can cook in different ways according to the wishes of each person.
The robot called Care-O-bot is being developed by the
Fraunhofer IPA Company. This is a robot specifically designed to care for the
elderly. This robot is being developed to understand what the elderly say and
take care of them.
