The term robot comes from the Czech word meaning forced labour.
A robot’s basic function is not to look or behave like a human being, but to do
a human’s work, and for that it needs mainly a guiding brain (the computer)
and an arm with claws for fingers. What makes robots important is the kind of
work they are able to do. They can take on dangerous tasks or withstand
dangerous conditions. Robots will be working in space, mines, underwater,
they will deal with explosives, radioactive materials and poisonous chemicals.
