A '''robot''' is a mechanical item with many functions, such as building [[automobiles]] or cleaning rooms (as is the case with the Roomba). In [[science fiction]], robots, also known as droids, often are servants to the sentients of that galaxy. The word 'robot' was coined by the writer [[Isaac Asimov]].

[[Isaac Asimov]] popularized the notion of robots as faithful human servants with his "Three laws of robotics". The term ''robot'' comes from a play by Czech author Karel Capek called R.U.R., or "Rossum's Universal Robots."
