The original meaning of the word "robot" comes from the Czech word "robota," which means "forced labor" or "drudgery." The term was first introduced by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his 1920 play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots). In the play, the robots are artificial people created to serve humans, performing laborious and repetitive tasks.
