The word Robot, from the Slavic word “robota” meaning “work”, designates an artificial mechanical creature that can realise a set of preprogrammed functions.
In science fiction, the robot takes often an humanoid form to easily develop in human society. Isaac Asimov has largely contributed to popularize harmless robots by imagining the Three Laws of Robotics which restrains their behaviour.
