who create the the first robot?

The first thing named robot was created in Karel Capeks play R.U.R. (Rossums Universal Robots) from 1922. Capek introduced the robot as a creation of a scientist named Rossum. It was a biological creation, very human like, and of course it all ends with the robots taking over the world. But that´s all fiction. The first real robot must therefor been created after 1922, because the word didn´t exist before that.

That was said to the robot in "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

Quite simply a robot is a machine that is operated by a numerical control system, you probably have one on your desk, it is called a printer.

Charles Babbage's engines were among the first mechanical computers. His engines were not actually completed, largely because of funding problems and personality issues. \nBabbage realized that a machine could do the work better and more reliably than a human being.\n Although Babbage's machines were mechanical monsters their basic architecture was astonishingly similar to a modern computer. \nThe data and program memory were separated, operation was instruction based, control unit could make conditional jumps and the machine had a separate I/O unit.

Robert Esnault-Pelterie would be most likely inventor if you wish to agree with the majority of researchers.\nFeel free to visit the source for information over the two mentioned inventors.

Charles Babbage is credited as the inventor of the first computer due to the invention of his difference engine machine in 1840.

A robot is a mechanical device that can perform preprogrammed physical tasks. A robot may act under the direct control of a human (eg. the robotic arm of the space shuttle) or autonomously under the control of a pre-programmed computer. Robots may be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to implement directly (e.g. the space shuttle arm) or may be used to automate repetitive tasks that can be performed more cheaply by a robot than by the employment of a human (e.g. automobile production; doctor).\n\nThe word robot is also used to describe an intelligent mechanical device ( machine ) in the form of a human. This form of robot (culturally referred to as androids) is common in science fiction stories. However, such robots are yet to become common-place in reality and development is yet required in the field of artificial intelligence before they approach the robots of sci-fi.\n\nFinally, bots are named after the word robot because they perform mundane, repetitive tasks.\n\n\n\nSO.....\n\nRobots will not take over

hmmmm now your getting into ethics...to create any life form that is unaware of itself and designed to simply  serve us sounds more like slavery.. any live   being would have to have some type of brain/ intelligence if only to just carry out its assignments...hence it would be capable of feelings/ pain/   joy / hunger etc..... we as humans I would hope are too humane to   engineer and enslave such a being...so   I would have to choose a metal robot  , though personally I would choose neither...since either would be one more step in  removing the  satisfaction of having done your own work/  and completed your own project...

only 0.005%.\nthe reason is that most of human beings use only 0.005% on their mind, and all robots are man made.

Check out A.L.I.C.E at www.pandorabots.com\nYou can talk to a pseudo AI there-the closest we've come.\nAlso check out the book(not the crappy movie) "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov. He was the first to establish the "three rules" for AI that is still accepted today.  By the way, A.L.I.C.E. knows the three laws-just ask her.

According to the bible, it was God.\nAccording to Darwin, it was natural evolution.\nMany others will convince you that it was Steve Jobs and Apple.\n\nThe answer, according to http://www.superkids.com/aweb/pages/features/mouse/mouse.html, is Doug Engelbart.\n\n(which I found via this Yahoo! Search http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/search?p=who+invented+the+mouse.)

the first computer was made by an english man called charles babbage in the 1800s. it was like a calculater and was the size of a house. \nt

The robot didn't say "Will Rodgers," the name he said was "Will Robinson," the name of the young boy that was on the space ship with his family and others.  The show was "Lost In Space."  :)

The first "computer" :)  was discover in 1938 by John Atanasov (lived in the USA, but bulgarian :) )

Your best bet would be to purchase a robot kit somewhere. It would be far too difficult to make one yourself unless you had a thorough understanding of programming chips.\n\nAlthough if you want a very simple robot, try this: Find a switch, some wires, a battery, and a DC motor. Attatch the wires to the motor, and then to the switch. Place the battery in the circuit and then press the switch, and the motor will turn on. This is the basic principle of a robot, you can add multiple motors, timed switches, and eventually programmed chips to add more versatility and usefullness to the robot.

Asimo is a humanoid robot built by Honda.
