Karel Čapek invented the term "robot" in his 1920 play "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" to explore themes of industrialization, dehumanization, and the ethical implications of creating artificial life. He envisioned robots as artificial beings designed to serve humans, but the narrative ultimately critiques the consequences of exploiting such creations. Through this invention, Čapek raised important questions about the nature of humanity, labor, and the potential for rebellion against oppressive systems. His work remains significant in discussions about technology and its impact on society.
