History of Robotics: Timeline

This history of robotics is intertwined with the histories of technology, science and the
basic principle of progress. Technology used in computing, electricity, even pneumatics
and hydraulics can all be considered a part of the history of robotics. The timeline
presented is therefore far from complete.
Robotics currently represents one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments and is the
single greatest attempt of mankind to produce an artificial, sentient being. It is only in
recent years that manufacturers are making robotics increasingly available and attainable
to the general public.
The focus of this timeline is to provide the reader with a general overview of robotics
(with a focus more on mobile robots) and to give an appreciation for the inventors and
innovators in this field who have helped robotics to become what it is today.
