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 at least 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.
