Before I do anything drastic, I wanted to open this one up. I think that the opening before the table of contents should be shortened to about three or four solid paragraphs, and the rest moved to the Overview and/or history sections.
Additionally, I think the list under the beginning of the history section makes it hard to read through the article and should be moved to the "History of Robots" article. That section in general seems too lengthy, and any parts taken out, should in my opinion be moved to the History article as well. Anyone have any thoughts on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatrickCarbone ( talk • contribs) 22:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
The word robot was introduced to the public by the Czech interwar writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920.[40] "to the public"--correct but the first use was in a letter Karel to his brother. How should this be added?

The whole page reads like a set of trivia entries. Automata should be moved to their own page and should not be covered in any great detail here. I was amazed that someone seriously wrote that Al-Jazari's robots weren't employed as workers because manual labour was still cheap back then. It seems that people writing big chunks of this article only know about robots from watching TV and reading comic books. I also dislike the undertone about robots stealing/taking human jobs. Plenty of robots perform jobs that just weren't done before. I'd like to clean up the article by removing most discussion about automata, job-stealing and arbitrary categorising, but I thought I should get some agreement before I go ahead.

Many countries now use robots. Many modern day people have robots installed in their homes. The countr that most uses robots is Japan. There is about 356,000 robot installations throught the small country. The second biggest user of robots is Germany. The people of Germany have installed roughly 121,000 robots so far. The people of the United States come in third with about 115,000 robot installations. In Italy, italians have installed approximatly 53,000 robots. South Korea is fifth. They have installed roughly 51,000 robots. France has installed about 28,000 robots, and Spain too. With about 22,000 robot installments, Spain is the seventh country that has installed the most robots. Great Britain has installed about 14,000, and Taiwan has installed about 12,000 robots. Finally, Sweden. Taking tenth place, Sweden has installed about 7,000 robots. Jules3676 ( talk) 00:20, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Might I suggest Lucy Suchman be mentioned in this article? Her work focuses on "robot" as a human-machine relationship as a subject object. She writes, "Three stagins of human-robot encounters (with the robots Mertz, Kismet and Robota respectively) demonstrate different possibilities for conceptualizing these subject objects, for the claims about humanness that they corporealise, and for the kinds of witnessing that they presuppose" in her article "Subject Objects". Her work as a whole contributes greatly to the work of feminist technoscience and nonhuman objects, and her inclusion would benefit a holistic entry of "Robot" as a wikipedia page.

During World War 2, Nazis developed ballistic missiles [1] [2] which were commonly refered to as "robots". The word gained prominence in this regard before Asimov's definition took over. Does anyone want to take a stab at including this information under "history" or "etymology" or even "trivia"?

The graphic of "A laparoscopic robotic surgery machine" is inappropriate for this article. The system depicted is the daVinci surgical assist system, which is always under the control of a surgeon, not a "surgical robot" as it is unfortunately called in the media. A "surgical robot" would function autonomously, without the concurrent control of a surgeon. To date, no such system has been approved for clinical use. 24 Aug 2012

Change "has" to "have" in "has been addressed in fiction". Ro(b)ottttttt ( talk) 15:58, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
The word ROBOT is not a purely czech word. It comes from Russian RABOTA which means work. In Slovak, ROBIT' means to work, to make, to do. For the author's origin, he is Czechoslovak, at the time Czech republic and Slovak republic were together in one country.
Please check for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_%C4%8Capek
from there you can see:
Etymology of robot
"Karel Čapek introduced and made popular the frequently used international word robot, which first appeared in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1920. While it is frequently thought that he was the originator of the word, he wrote a short letter in reference to an article in the Oxford English Dictionary etymology in which he named his brother, painter and writer Josef Čapek, as its actual inventor.[13] In an article in the Czech journal Lidové noviny in 1933, he also explained that he had originally wanted to call the creatures laboři (from Latin labor, work). However, he did not like the word, seeing it as too artificial, and sought advice from his brother Josef, who suggested roboti (robots in English).
The word robot comes from the word robota, meaning literally "serf labor", and, figuratively, "drudgery" or "hard work" in modern Czech (in Slovak, Russian, archaic Czech and other Slavic languages the cognate word means simply "work", comparable to German Arbeit, with the same meaning; in Polish, both shades of meaning are extant.)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.41.228.80 ( talk) 06:15, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, please: a one-line summary of the above, with link to e.g. /info/en/?search=Rossum%27s_Universal_Robots#Origin_of_the_word deserves to be placed at the end of the opening paragraph to this article, don't you think? Fjados ( talk) 10:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
the word 'robot' is not a czech word at all and neither russian, it is a root word 'rob' in the slovak language for 'work'. russians say rabota not robota like in slovak, robotnik is a slovak word for worker, in czech language is 'delnik' and russian is 'raboci'. it has nothing to do with the word 'slave'. slave in slovak is 'otrok' the word 'robotovat' in slovak means doing hard labor. another example between czech and slovak use of the word is, if you ask in slovak how much money you made, you would say 'kolko si zarobil'. in czech its 'kolik si videlal', in slovak when you as somebody what are you doing you say 'co robis', in czech it's 'co delas'. i speak and can read both languages and the root word 'rob' is slovak for work,labour and job. root word for work in czech is 'del' as you can see in the examples that i put up. so clearly karel capek used a slovak word and tried to make it a czech word which wikipedia should maybe take a look into just to get the facts right. thank you. ronald konig — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.10.182 ( talk) 18:09, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Not done as explained in the etymology section, it is from the Czech robota (“drudgery, servitude”) - "Karel Čapek himself did not coin the word. He wrote a short letter in reference to an etymology in the Oxford English Dictionary." - so, the person who invented the word explained it - that is the origin we will stick with. - Arjayay ( talk) 19:14, 11 January 2015 (UTC) I was not writing about who coin the word.

Cybermen are not robots, the whole point of them is that they are biological creatures who have changed themselves to the point where they are almost robots - but also definitely not robots.
A better example from Doctor Who would be the Mechonoids/Mechanoids which effectively built their own society despite being created by humans to serve them.

I'm going to delete the "Poledancing Robot" paragraph and reference in the next few days since it is neither noteworthy nor appropriate, and the linked to reference is blatantly sexist. Since it is the only text under the "Entertainment" section, unless someone can provide some non-objectionable content for it I'll also remove the section.
I welcome feedback, except for arguments along the lines of "it's no harm" or "lighten up" or "it's not sexist because blah".
mjog ( talk) 08:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
I went back and checked the reference and the only thing sexist I found was the author's use of the female pronoun "her" when referencing the robot dancers. It was one occurrence and I don't think it qualifies as "blatant" sexism. The article was quite short.
As for notability, well, as of Dec 2016, those pole dancing robots are still a thing. Here is another article, carefully selected for gender neutral pronoun usage. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/739166/Giles-Walker-kinetic-artist-pole-dancing-robot-Melbourne
Granted, there haven't been any newcomers to the pole dancing robots game. But those original pole dancing robots from 2012 still make regular appearances at international expos.
As for appropriateness-level, well, that I'm not sure of. The robots were created by an artist who clearly intended for them to raise the very same questions posed in the "Sex Robot" section of this article and it's accompanying article. Valid questions about the role of robotics in the sex industry and it's impact on society. A sensitive topic but one that is quickly becoming to big to ignore. I think the pole dancing robots might make for a lighter example of this than the fully functioning sex robots complete with heated genitalia that are set to hit the market later this year. The pole dancing robots were obviously never meant to attract customers to a real strip club but brothels in at least two countries already have plans to fill rooms with the next generation of RealDolls. In my opinion, ignoring the issue is silly and Giles Walker's pole-dancing robots seem to be an easier example to mention than RealDolls whose entire website is NSFW.
tl;dr the pole dancing robots aren't sexist because blah and seriously lighten up because it's by far the least terrifying entry in the quickly growing "robots as sex workers" category. Robo042 ( talk) 18:08, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
"From the Contemporary Uses" > "General-purpose autonomous robots" section:
"Humanoid robots are still in a very limited stage, as no humanoid robot can, as of yet, actually navigate around a room that it has never been in.[citation needed] Thus, humanoid robots are really quite limited, despite their intelligent behaviors in their well-known environments."
In addition to having no citation, I believe Boston Dynamic's Atlas robot now makes the statement factually incorrect. It's a humanoid robot that seems to navigate quite well in the most unfamiliar room of all: outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVlhMGQgDkY
Robo042 ( talk) 15:14, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
It might. But it seems a little unfair to include the ability to judge the value and fragility of furniture into a robot's definition of "navigate", no? It's a humanoid biped that handles doors and unfamiliar terrain without getting stuck. If something unfamiliar like your expensive table is in the way, the robot will handle it to complete the task at hand. You might be pissed if it handles it by throwing it out the window whilst performing the "retrieve beer from fridge" task. But not as pissed as you'd be if it takes 30 minutes to delicately maneuver around the table whilst performing the "retrieve unconscious human child from burning building" task.
The point is, humanoid robot technology has progressed to the point where the robot can navigate unfamiliar environments without getting stuck. Qualifiers like "delicately when performing mundane tasks" or "stealthily when going in for the kill" are probably still a few generations off yet. Robo042 ( talk) 19:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

64.109.54.132 ( talk) 18:02, 12 July 2017 (UTC) I'm sure reading the whole article it would be fine and you would understand. But as a writer knowledgeable of other writers, since droid is a copyright term, please place it in its own section or let it be explained out in the article naturally. It may give a writer the idea to just call it a droid and get fined for it later on. You may think something bitter and negative about fiction writing all of a sudden well up in your mouth like foam for the dog...But I know a little more. Someone will glance and take that idea of droid being common like robot and use it in their fiction. We cannot say robot is also called droid out of androids, automatons, mechs, zords, etc. since like elves and fairies, it makes it sound like open game legally free to reproduce. It is not the rule of Wikipedia to deter such misleading, and it may not happen. But it is also not the rule of Wikipedia to mislead. Droids legally are a term only common in Star Wars and fictions that were given permission to use the term. This got an advertising firm in trouble, and they weren't even thinking of Star Wars when they chose their name. But nonetheless Star Wars is the only place we rather permanently and commonly call the robots droid. So please don't assert it that way. From saying zord you probably already felt that ruffle in your mind and made you aware that the article doesn't read '(also called zords)' or automatons and other such labels. Any who hear this please work your wiki-editing magic. I'm scared to touch these articles.

I am from the Czech Republic and I am sure that the term "robot" is from "robota," but this term does not mean "forced laborer" but the labour itself. The person would be "robotník" (in modern Czech there is "práce" - labour - and "pracovník" as derived word). Could somebody change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.200.53.25 ( talk) 15:00, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Alexjdance ( talk) 08:04, 18 December 2019 (UTC) [1] Robot toys have developed and reduced in price to be affordable and easy to use for children as young as 5 with low-cost robot toys such as the Table Top Robot, Tin Can Robot or Salt Powered Robot.
For slightly higher prices there are solar-powered robots, fighting robots and coding robots.
The BB8 was a droid character popularized in Star Wars movies and can be purchased as a robot that can be controlled by hand gestures.
Tekno the Robotic Puppy was a popular electronic robot from late 2000’s.
The next level up options requires more build and coding options such as the Lego Mindstorms robot which comes with multiple robotic designs. Alexjdance ( talk) 08:04, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

I am surprised that no where in this article does it mention Disney's Audio-Animatronics, the companies that develop them (Disney Imagineering and SAARCO Robotics (or something like that). orvthe subsequent trend of robots for entertainment purposes such as theme parks, dinner shows, and stage plays. I think someone should add a whole dedicated section on this or at least a link with a description to the article on Audio Animatronics. No one can deny the impact the advancements in those especially in recent years has had on robotic development going all the way back to the mid 1950's and early 1960's onward! -Cale Enger 1/19/20 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virginiabookworm ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
