A robot working as a watchman and even calling the police when required. A robot serving tea for you and removing trays from your table. Just imagine a scenario ! A nursing robot holding a patient in its arms, washing him and then putting him back in bed. A robot washing clothes, arranging tables even taking your dog out for a walk. A robot cleaning and polishing the floor faster than a human worker.
Robots playing cassette tapes or pianos , producing fascinating sounds, telling stories to entertain children. Robots helping in agricultural operation - a mobile cybernetic pig-tender, an automatic milker, a fruit -picking gardener robot and the sheep-shearing robot.
The Czech word ' robota' means servitude or forced labour. It is because of this characterisation of a robot in capek's play that people began to visualise a robot as a monstrous human-like machine, something to be afraid of. Such fear is dipicted in mary Shelly's Frankenstein. In the public mind, ever since, a robot has been machanical humanoid, tireless and somewhat sinister.
