What does the word ‘robot’ mean?
A robot is a machine that sometimes resembles humans and carries out routine mechanical tasks on command with human-like skill. The word robot has its origins in the Czech word robotnik, which means a serf or a slave. Robots are used mainly in factories and in those activities which a human might find difficult to handle, such as deep sea exploration, mining, etc. It is also used in space.
