The word "robot" does not originate from a science or engineering
vocabulary. It was rst used in the Czech drama R.U.R. (Rossum's
Universal Robots) written by Karel Capek and was rst played in
Prague in 1921 (the word itself was invented by his brother Josef).
In the drama the "robot" is an arti cial human being which is a
brilliant worker, deprived of all unnecessary qualities: feelings,
creativity and capacity for feeling pain. In the prologue of the
drama the following "de nition" of robots is given: Robots are not
people (Roboti nejsou lide). They are mecha- cally more perfect
than we are, they have an astounding intellectual capacity, but
they have no soul. The creation of an engineer is technically more
re ned than the product of nature. The textbook "Robotics" evolved
through more than 10 years of teaching robotics at the Faculty of
Electrical Engineering, of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The way of presenting the rather demanding subject was successfully
tested with several generations of undergraduatestudents."
