Antonio FatenEvery creation stems from the idea of the inventor. Whenever an event or an unexpected occurrence happens, those who witnessed these events become inspired to create something that reflects the idea. In the world of Robotics, it’s a platform that allows technical geniuses to construct constructs that reflect their experiences or themselves. But before we dive deeper into this world of technological advancement, let’s first delve into the history of this concept and how it has evolved throughout the centuries. We’ll start with the term and what avenues this concept opened for the world.
Origin of Robotics Machines
Robotics combines science, engineering, and technology to design, construct, and operate machines. The earliest development of robotics began in 1804 when mass production became automated for the first time in Human history. As UK and French weaving became an intensive labor, French inventor, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, revealed what would eventually become the “Jacquard Loom.” It could translate patterns from punch cards into commands that dictate whether to lift or lower threads, increasing efficiency and productivity. With the conception of the Loom, it became the very first computer program in existence.
Rise to Prominence
Since then, Humanity sought to further industrialize the natural labors of the world by experimenting with new innovative technology, such as the first robotic arm, the first electric-powered six-axis robot, and even the first robot to use artificial intelligence (AI). At this point, as technology began to evolve moving forward, it was there that people wondered if they could take their technology a step forward. Well, with the emergence of the genre of Sci-Fi, those ideas skyrocketed beyond our planet’s atmosphere. In 1919, Harry Houdini, the legendary escape artist, filmed “The Master Mystery” franchise with a total of fifteen installments. One of those installments contained the footage of the first robot to be filmed.
Even though the word “robot” didn’t exist prior, Q (the robot) was originally called an “automaton,” which is a moving device. His unique design lived rent-free in the minds of many film producers for more than forty years. The designs of robots in film and TV evolved to such a degree, that they almost look alien. As CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) became more sophisticated, the designs of robots became more complex and sleek as opposed to their box-like predecessors. Those principles applied to other franchises, such as “Mobile Suit Gundam,” “Voltron: Defender of the Universe,” and, most notably, “Transformers.”
Towards a Gleaming Future
Because of these innovations, humanity has begun the process of advancing and perfecting the technological prowess of robotics, and we’re only going to strive even further to the point where our technology is unrecognizable. No doubt many of us can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us…
