Daneel is a robot built by Roj Nemennuh Sarton and Han Fastolfe, who are Spacer roboticists from the planet Aurora, in the year 4920 AD. [12] Although designed and built by Auroran roboticists, Daneel was constructed on Earth. He is the first humanoid, or "humaniform," robot ever constructed and is outwardly indistinguishable from a human being.
During the Industrial Revolution, humans developed the structural engineering capability to control electricity so that machines could be powered with small motors. In the early 20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed. The first uses of modern robots were in factories as industrial robots.
A human-size biped walking robot from Waseda University. [58] 1996 Saika A light-weight, human-size and low-cost humanoid robot, was developed at Tokyo University. Saika has a two-DOF neck, dual five-DOF upper arms, a torso and a head. Several types of hands and forearms are under development also. Developed until 1998. [48] Vanderbilt Humanoid
Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) opened in London. This is the first use of the word "robot" in English. [44] 1920-1925 Wilhelm Lenz and Ernst Ising created and analyzed the Ising model (1925) [45] which can be viewed as the first artificial recurrent neural network (RNN) consisting of neuron-like threshold elements.

Leonardo’s robot is largely controlled by a system of pulleys composed of a central driver, individual drivers, and supporting idler pulleys. [1] The inside of the robot's chest contains a mechanical controller for the arms. [1] This controller triggers the worm gears connected to the robot’s pulley system, enabling the robot to wave its arms.

H. erectus is the first known species to develop control of fire, by about 1.5 Ma. H. erectus later migrates throughout Eurasia, reaching Southeast Asia by 0.7 Ma. It is described in a number of subspecies. [38] Early humans were social and initially scavenged, before becoming active hunters.
The robot, spaceMIRA, docked at the space station on Feb. 1 following its launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Jan. 30. ... This tiny but mighty robot just nailed its first surgery demo in ...
