History of Robotics: Timeline

Let's learn some attractive moments that will help you define the history of robots. This timeline includes several historical events of the past and recent developments that helped shape the world of robotics engineering and technology. We will learn about advances in artificial intelligence, changes in industrial robots, research on robotic arms used in automobile manufacturing, rover cars and so on. Please trace the history of robot engineering from its humble, distant beginning to today's complex robot. These robots combine various interrelated areas (computing, philosophy, engineering, etc.) to extend human achievement.

The history of robots is related to the development of artificial intelligence. The first digital manipulation and programmable robot was created by George Devol in 1954. It is called "Unimate" - a robot arm device used to transport die cast parts of the GM car assembly line. In 1956, Devol, together with entrepreneur Joseph Engelberger, established the world's first robotics company Unimation. In the late 1960s, Engleberger acquired a patent of Devol's robot arm and changed it to an industrial robot. For his success, Engelberg is known as the "father of robots".

Our PLENGoer Robotics team has a history of manufacturing robots with expression power and personality. PLEN 2 is the world's smallest bipedal walking robot (as far as we know it is the only robot that can slide). Our user community is wide and diverse - advanced developers and amateur patchers can customize PLEN 2. Think about computers. Just 50 years ago, they filled the room. Now they fit in the pocket behind your jeans. We believe the robot is also true. Robots are indispensable to our lives. Robots are indispensable to our lives, such as management of household appliances, management of schedule, photographing outdoor photography, photographing as a friend.

This tool is interactive. Video, photography, animation, and links are designed to better understand the history of robotics and artificial intelligence.
