Description: It was the first industrial robot, which worked on a General Motors assembly line at the Inland Fisher

Guide Plant in Ewing Township, New Jersey. Specifications: The concept for Unimate was developed by inventor George Devol who died at 99 in August 2011 and General Motors bought the device, installing it on an assembly line in 1961. Date of Invention: 1961 Inventor: George Devol

Description: It was the first general-purpose mobile robot to be able to reason about its own actions. While other robots would have to be instructed on each individual step of completing a larger task, Shakey could analyze the command and break it down into basic chunks by itself. Specifications: Some of the most notable results of the project include the A* search algorithm, the Hough transform, and the visibility graph method. Date of Invention: 1972 Inventor: SRI International

Description: A tethered walking robot, which explored the Mt. Spurr (Aleutian Range, Alaska) volcano in July 1994. Inventor: The CMU Field Robotics Center (FRC) developed Dante II Specifications: The Dane robots were made to aid volcanologists in gathering information but they also opened up the possibility of exploring other planets using robots. Date of Invention: 1994

Description: AIBO,(Artificial Intelligence Robot) which infers "pal" in Japanese, was one of several robotic pets created by Sony. Specifications:. AIBO could see via a camera and could recognize commands spoken in English or Spanish. AIBO and the others also had the ability to "learn and mature." With the use of a memory stick, the robot dog could learn and develop as its owner played with it. AIBO was discontinued in 2006. Date of Invention: 1999 Inventor: Sony

Description: ASIMO, which looks like a child robot, was about 4 feet and 3 inches tall. ASIMO, stands for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. Specifications: It has a long list of accomplishments. The robot can walk alongside a human holding hands, recognize objects, interpret gestures, distinguish sounds and even be integrated into a user's network. Date of Invention: 2000 Inventor: Honda

Description : Actroid is a humanoid robot, or android, meaning it has a close resemblance to a human. The first of its kind was initially revealed in Japan in the early 21st century. Specifications: Designed to look like Japanese women, the robots have air actuators that allow them to have as many as "47 points of articulation" or parts of the body that make movement look natural. This year, Actroids were released into the private market, selling for as much as $20,000. Date of Invention: 2005 Inventor: KOKORO Inc

Description :Originally known as automatons, or self-operating machines, the word "robot" was popularized by a 1921 play called "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" by Czech author Karel Capek. But long before this text was published, the road to artificial intelligence was already wellpaved.

Description: Famed Italian inventor Leonardo da Vinci created plans for this humanoid robot in 1495. It was to be a mechanical knight that could move its head, jaw and arms. According to da Vinci's drawings, it could even sit up. Pictured here is a recreation of da Vinci's robot, built in 2007 by researchers in Milan. Date of Invention: 1495

Description: It was a small rover that was sent to Mars in 1997 as part of NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission.The six-wheeled Sojourner rover vehicle was only 11 inches tall by 2 feet long by 19 inches wide (280 x 630 x 480 mm). The tiny vehicle, which NASA called a "microrover", had a top speed of only 79 feet per hour (0.4 meters/minute). Sojourner had a mass of 11.5 kg, so it weighed about 25 pounds on Earth or just under 10 pounds on Mars.

Description: It simulates the voice, head movements and facial expressions of an operator who is online. It is described as humoncolic. Date of Invention: 2010 Inventor: Hiroshi Ishiguro Specifications: The Telenoid R1 uses dc motors as actuators, and there are only nine in its body. Ishiguro's previous androids use pneumatic actuators; the Geminoid HI-1 has 50 actuators, and the Geminoid F has 12. The Telenoid's smaller and simpler body helped reduce development and production costs.
