Gartner Group :"The Hype Cycle of Emerging Technologies"

1927 the Maschinenmensch ("machine-human") gynoid humanoid robot (also called "Parody", "Futura", "Robotrix", or the "Maria impersonator"), the first depiction of a robot ever to appear on film, was played by German actress Brigitte Helm in Fritz Lang's film Metropolis.

• 1942 the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov formulated his

Three Laws of Robotics. • 1948 Norbert Wiener formulated the principles of

cybernetics, the basis of practical robotics. • 1961 Fully autonomous robots appear (Unimate)

• 1970’s Industrial Robots

• 1980 -90 – Increased CPU Power / Smaller, Satellites, Laser

technology, Coding advances

• 2000’s – GPS, Wireless, Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology, Advanced Sensors, Agile

After the Telelux, Westinghouse built several other robots—Katrina Van Televox, Rastus Robot & Willie Jr., Willie Vocalite, succeeded by the most successful Elektro the Moto-Man, built in 1937/38 at the Westinghouse's factory in Mansfield.

Quality Management: Testing Quality Control Quality Assurance

Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co's first robot was Herbert Televox, built in 1927 by Roy Wensley at their East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania plant.
