WHERE DOES THE WORD 'ROBOT'COME FROM? The word 'robot' comes from 'robota',the Czech word for drudgery.They are able to perform repetetive tasks, such as spray painting cars,welding metal and assembling machinery. They are controlled by computer programmes. They are particularly useful in places that are too hazardous for humans to work in, such as areas of nuclear power stations or reprocessing plants where radioactivity is very high. Very few robots looks like the humanoid ones(androids) of science fiction, but Japanese scientists have been developing prototypes for several years.ChristineRu (talk) 11:32, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
