Robotics Timeline

fig 1: The history of robotics presented in a timeline outlining some of the most important events from robotic history from the year of 1921 to the year 2005.

Why is it necessary to understand the History of Robotics:Because without a good grasp of the history of robotics we would not be able to further progress in robotics and draw inspiration from the past to influence the robotics nowadays, for example, NASA is only able to update their robots after looking at their past robots such as the Canadarm2 as mentioned in the timeline.
