The first robots were often referred to as "automata," which are self-operating machines designed to perform specific tasks. One of the earliest examples is the mechanical monk created by Giovanni Battista della Porta in the late 16th century. In the 20th century, the term "robot" was popularized by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his 1920 play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots), which depicted artificial beings created to serve humans.
