From http://www.ravllc.com/robotic-blog/robotic-blog.htm\n\nThe word 'robot' was coined by Karel Capek who wrote a play entitled 'R.U.R.' or 'Rossum's Universal Robots' back in 1921. The base for this word comes from the Czech word 'robotnik' which means 'worker'. In his play, machines modeled after humans had great power but without common human failings. In the end these machines were used for war and eventually turned against their human creators.

It is indeed rhyming slang, originally from the East End of London, but taken to Australia by English emigrants. The source is the phrase cobbler’s awl.\n\nAn awl is an ancient pointed tool for making holes in things, the most characteristic tool of any leatherworker; it was an essential part of the shoemaker’s kit, since he was forever piercing leather to sew pieces together. So a cobbler’s awl was as characteristic of his trade as his last, or foot-shaped anvil.\n\nThe rhyming slang linked cobbler’s awls with balls, that is, testicles. As was usual with such rhyming slang phrases, the first word later appeared on its own as a kind of half-disguised code, so cobblers! came to be used in the same way as balls!, as an exclamation of derision or disbelief, suggesting something was rubbish or nonsense. The examples in the big Oxford English Dictionary suggest that this last sense is actually quite recent, only being recorded in print from the 1950s onwards (though very probably older in the spoken language).\n\nA load of old cobblers is an intensification of that, once commonly heard in London as well as in Australia and also in other Commonwealth countries. Americans seem never to have got into the habit of using cobblers! (or indeed balls!), though British cop shows exported to North America have made both retorts familiar to many there.

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.

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."  :)

My gang translated R as "royal".\nAnyway the meaning of the phrase was an indeterminate small increment used in adjusting something (length, voltage, etc).

such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, affectionate behavior and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute. It is commonly used to describe otherwise description-less objects such as washing machines and penny whistles.
