What was the first robot built?

Answer 1

The idea of robotics dates back to 350 BC when Greek mathematician Archytas built a mechanical bird dubbed "the pigeon". It moves through using steam and serves as one of histories earliest studies of flight. In 200 BC Greek inventor and physicist Ctesibus of Alexandria designs water clocks that have movable figures on them. Da Vinci in 1495 designed a mechanical device that looked like a armored knight. It moved as if there was a real person inside. Jacques de Vaucanson began building autoamata in 1738 in Grenoble France. It was a Flute player that could play 12 songs. The list goes on through history of various people who did robotics for various reasons. It is still going on.
