Timeline in the History of Robotics

You can begin to see the human development and ingenuity that have led to the
development and led to the marvelous 21st century, that is the robot. The robots used in our
homes, entertainment and industry are not the result of the last few decades, but are the
pinnacle of centuries of the human effort to create something astounding. Acquire knowledge of
some of the captivating events that have helped trace the history of robotics.

Activity 1. History of Robotics

Estimated Time to Complete: Allow 4 hours for research and documentation (1 Week)

Objectives:
1. Discussing the ground-roots and the development of robotics technology
2. Trace, the events in the history of robotics

Materials: Pictures of invented robots through time

Procedure:
1. To begin, trace the time of events, this timeline marks a number of robotics historic
moments of the over and done with developments that have configured the world of robots and
robotics technology. Follow the history of robotics from its deferential but insightful onset right
through to the precise futuristic AI robots. While examining the events presented in the timeline.
I encourage you to review them all and research any that catch your interest.
