one of the earliest robots was hero's cart and it proved robots could do good deeds by putting on a little play for everyone to enjoy

everybody in 60 AD agreed that it was a pretty good robot

sometimes people build robots that have a big spike or a flipper deal and make them fight with other robots

this is known as robot wars and it is basically dog fighting and it is considered very immoral by sophisticated people

for many centuries philosophers have debated the question: what is a robot?

for example, is a doornob a kind of robot? some say yes, others say no.


but the answer is no, a doornob is not a robot.

a robot is like an person or a dog, but made of parts and wires and so forth

regular machines like dishwashers and vacuum cleaners can be robots too if they have enough computers inside them
