In the 21st century, humans have become well-acquainted with not only the concept but also the practical reality of robots. In fact, robots have become a very real concern for many workers throughout the industrialized world as ever advancing technology threatens to replace them. But while we live in an age where robots are becoming commonplace, it was not too long ago that they were the subject of only myth and legend. Nevertheless, it would be a very difficult position to argue that humans have not understood at least the concept of robots for thousands of years. The Sumerians, Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Indus Valley civilization have a multitude of accounts concerning robots and automata in general.
As usual, we want to focus solely on the ancient accounts thus it is required we set sort of a timeline cutoff on this topic. While it is generally accepted that the term “ancient” demarcates the time periods before and after 500 CE, we will be extending that range up to approximately 1000 CE for our presentation here.
