The first actual robot was created in 1961 by Joseph F. Engelberger. It was called the Ternstedt Die-caster and basically dropped car parts made from molten steel into a cooling liquid. The word "robot" is first credited to the acclaimed Czech playwright Karel Capek (1890-1938), from the Czech word for forced labor or serf, in his writings in 1920. However, the concept of "mechanical men" has been around since the mid 1800s. The word "robotics" was first used in Runaround, a short story published in 1942, by Isaac Asimov (born Jan. 2, 1920, died Apr. 6, 1992). I, Robot, a collection of several of these stories, was published in 1950.
