Although this wasn't all of the footage shot for, "Rupert: The Robot Child"-- the whole beginning was shot, and so, I edited the beginning together.

TEENAGE ROBOT

What's five inches tall, has no mouth and dances to music?
Why, it's an interactive robot for infants, of course.

This robot was designed by Hideki Kozima as part of a child development, interaction and   more...research project.

From the site :
"I am a scientist working on cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and robotics. My major research interest is "the ability to imagine others' mind", which is the underlying core mechanism for interpersonal communication specific to human species. Where did it come from? How does it develop over time? Investigating these issues, I would like to make robots and artificial systems that have "the ability to imagine others' mind", which would enables them to understand people's feelings and pain, to make a promise with people, and then to live together with people in the community."

Karel Capek's R.U.R. (1921 AD)

In 1921, the Czech author Karel Capek (pronounced Chahpek) wrote his best known piece of work, the   more...play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which featured machines created to simulate human beings.

Some references state that term "robot" was derived from the Czech word robota, meaning "work", while others propose that robota actually means "forced workers" or "slaves." This latter view would certainly fit the point that Capek was trying to make, because his robots eventually rebelled against their creators, ran amok, and tried to wipe out the human race.

However, as is usually the case with words, the truth of the matter is a little more convoluted. In the days when Czechoslovakia was a feudal society,"robota"referred to the two or three days of the week that peasants were obliged to leave their own fields to work without remuneration on the lands of noblemen. For a long time after the feudal system had passed away, robota continued to be used to describe work that one wasn't exactly doing voluntarily or for fun, while today's younger Czechs and Slovaks tend to use robota to refer to work that's boring or uninteresting.  less

What is Tin Toy??
Tin toy is great gift to granny as it is an old fashion toy. Although it can be for a child, adults will appreciate these items far more, and so adults are the ones whom these toys are really for. They are no impact-proof, wear resisting items like the modern plastic toys; instead they are made of metal sheet, and operate by a delicate wind up mechanism. Just as some of us might remember them from our childhood, these items don't stand up too well to use and abuse, and better belong to the display case, where they serve as reminder of our childhood
Robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. While there is no single correct definition of "robot",[10] a typical robot will have several or possibly all of the following characteristics.

It is an electric machine which has some ability to interact with physical objects and to be given electronic programming to do a specific task or to do a whole range of tasks or actions. It may also have some ability to perceive and absorb data on physical objects, or on its local physical environment, or to process data, or to respond to various stimuli. This is in contrast to a simple mechanical device such as a gear or a hydraulic press or any other item which has no processing ability and which does tasks through purely mechanical processes and motion.  less
