Club SciKidz STEM Box Introduction to Robotics

The word robot is derived from the Czech word “robota”, which means “forced work or labor.” The Greek mathematician Archytas built the first known robot in 400 B.C. This wooden bird was powered by steam and could “fly” 200 ft. In the late 1400’s, Leonardo da Vinci made plans for a humanoid robot. Robots and robotics, the science and study of robots, have come along way since then.
