While Karel Čapek is frequently acknowledged as the originator of the word, he wrote a short letter in reference to the in 1933, he also explains that he originally wanted to call the creatures "laboři" (from Latin ''labor''). However, Karel did not like this word and sought advice from Josef, who suggested to call them "robots". (The word is derived from ''robota'', which means "drudgery" in Czech and "work" in Slovak ). The theme of robots has been picked up by science fiction writers and many volumes are focussed on Robots and their interaction with the human species. Of particular note is the work of Isaac Asimov who has centered a large portion of his work on Robot related stories. Asimov is particularly known for his creation of the Three Laws Of Robotics which he explores in his stories. SEE ALSO List Of Fictional Robots And Androids |
