Robots have a long history dating back to ancient myths of mechanical servants created by gods. In the modern era, digitally controlled industrial robots and robots using artificial intelligence have been built since the 1960s to perform automated tasks. Today's robots are better programmed to work automatically and complete tasks on their own for applications like manufacturing or handling hazardous materials. Experimental robots are now being developed with the ability to display emotions and expressions.

“ROBOTS”
Robots were probably one of history’s well-known made inventions. Robots date at least as far back as ancient myths and legends. Digitally controlled Industrial robots and robots making use of Artificial intelligence have been built since the 1960s.
Several ancient mythologies include artificial people, such as the mechanical
servants built by the Greek god Hephaestus (Vulcan to the Romans), the clay golems of Jewish legend and clay giants of Norse legend, and Galatea, the mythical statue of Pygmalion that came to life. In Greek drama, Deus Ex Machina was contrived as a dramatic device that usually involved lowering a deity by wires into the play to solve a seemingly impossible problem.
Al-Jazari (1136-1206), a Muslim inventor during the ‘’Artuqid’’ (mid-12th century
to early 15th century, depending on where) dynasty, designed and constructed a number of automated machines, including kitchen appliances, hydro-powered musical automata (automated machines), and programmable automata. His robots appeared as four musicians on a boat in a lake, entertaining guests at royal drinking parties. His mechanism had a programmable drum machine with pegs (cams) that bumped into little levers that operated percussion (beating) instruments. The drummer could be made to play different rhythms and different drum patterns by moving the pegs to different locations.
Today, our robots are better programmed, and automatically guided and able to do tasks on their own.
Robots also have special tasks also, like in industrial use, where special types of robots are used in making products or handling hazardous materials such as the ‘’Pick and Place’’ robot.
Another is the service robot. Most commonly used industrial robots are fixed robotic arms and manipulators used primarily for production and distribution of goods. The term "service robot" is less well-defined. IFR has proposed a tentative definition, "A service robot is a robot which operates semi- or fully- autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations."
In South Africa robot is an informal and commonly used term for a set of traffic lights.
This year many experimental robots are produced such as robots that are programmed to have emotions, feelings and to express.
