- JasonPrini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Since there is no such place, I think we're safe.
- cyclotron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I was watching a show on the History channel that had a DaVinci robot... thats older than 82.
- AlexApetrei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5DaVinci made more of a complex Marionet than a robot. He was fascinated with anatomy and wanted to see if he could mimic what he saw inside the human body.
- jnorris441, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6In Czechoslovakia, robot invents you!
- cyclotron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Are you saying that computer code telling the robot what to do is not equivelent to strings and such?
Robot != A.I. - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The term "robot" is 85, not the idea of them. Kind of inaccurately named.
- absoluteczech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@jnorris441
fyi czechoslovakia doesnt exist anymore its czech republic & slovakia :-) - cyclotron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That article also lists an 18th century Japanese robot...
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I was watching a show on the History channel that had a DaVinci robot... thats older than 82."
Are you sure you weren't playing Rise of Legends? - satori3000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting to think that we rarely associate Charles Babage with the invention of the first computer. Only relevant as it would of been the brain behind the robot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage
- SuperGhost, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I can't believe you forgot Robocop.
- vertinox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think Robotca or Robot in Czeck means compulsary labor. So basically robots means slave.
- BlackHatFerret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes Im from Czech Republic and we got good inventions. Go Czech woot!
- JasonPrini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I did not write there WAS no such place, I wrote there IS no such place. You might need a grammer lesson.
:P zinger! - untzboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I learned all of this in school a week ago, and it still isn't very interesting. Jason Prini needs a history lesson. Soogy has a good point.
- oakeybloke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And Jason could use a spelling lesson ;-P *grammar*
- fmarkos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The name might be 85 years old but the idea goes way back:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talos
http://67.18.47.148/com/index2/Ancient_technology/talos.asp - JasonPrini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He he, you caught it.. nice!
- AlexApetrei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hapy birthday to the Robot.
And a big round of aplause for the guy that made this all possible Karel Capek, for without imagination we would have no invovation. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i remeber reading this some where:
roborta czech word meaning a mechanical salve how helps humans - absoluteczech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0no an invention but a damn good czech product ! :D
http://www.czechabsinth.com/home.htm - TriZz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I actually have a robot tattoo because I feel like "the original" robot - a repetitive form of labor/life. A slave to the input of others...
...it's good to see that my "deeper" meaning of having a robot still holds true - even in the eyes of the inventor. - skubiszm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0You can read a little about the Da Vinci Robots here.
