1954-"first programmable Robot"
The first programmable robot was the Unimate, which was created in 1954 by George Devol and Joseph Engelberger .The Unimate was an industrial robot arm that could perform a range of tasks, including welding, drilling, and assembly, in a factory setting.
The Unimate used a digital computer to store and execute programmed instructions, which allowed it to perform tasks automatically and with high precision. The robot arm was equipped with a range of sensors and actuators, which allowed it to move and manipulate objects with great accuracy.
The Unimate quickly gained popularity in the manufacturing industry, and was used in a variety of applications, including the production of automobiles, appliances, and electronic components. The success of the Unimate paved the way for the development of more advanced and sophisticated robotic systems, and helped to establish robotics as a major industry in its own right.
