A scene in the play, showing three
robots.
The October 16, 1922 edition of The Bee (Danville, Virginia) ran a syndicated story about the
Karel Capek play
R.U.R. The play introduced the world to the word "robot" from the Czech "robota," which literally means "forced work." Below are excerpts as well as the article as it appeared in The Bee.
If any industrial genius, like Henry Ford, ever turns his energies to the manufacture of Robots we're all goners, as the saying is.
The Robot is a terrible creature of synthetic flesh, bone and skin. He is in the image of man and has all the attributes of man except spirituality and laziness
(Rossum´s Universal Robots)
