I am doing a science fair in which i go to a website and create a "soda straw robot" and use things such as gravity moving parts and other things to create a robot to do a specific useful thing.http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/ApMech_p020.shtml

Ben Farr Mrs. Vanmeter 12/2/09 Science 7 Robotics Research project Who invented robotics? The inventor of the word robot was the Czech writer, Karel Capek. He was born in 1890 and died in 1938. He used the word robot as a word for a slave or serf to do your every will. He wrote several books about using the word robot as the title of most of his works. He was later given a Nobel Prize for his books. But the first robot wasn’t invented later until 1956 were the George Devol and Joseph Engelberger made a company named Unimation. They created their first robot called the Unimate it was called the “father of robotics. This was installed in many places such as General Motors’ to deal with jobs dangerous and hard for humans. What is it used for? Robotics is used for literally everything. Robots are used in war, in shops, in car development, in factories, in everything!
