What does ROBOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one that can be programmed to perform tasks.
Robot entered English from the Czech word robota, meaning forced labor, after the 1920 play R.U.R. by Karel Capek imagined artificial workers built to serve humans, and the name stuck for real machines built decades later. Modern robots range from industrial arms that weld car parts on an assembly line to small household devices that vacuum floors without any human guidance. The word also extends beyond machinery to describe a person who behaves in a mechanical, unemotional way, as if following a program rather than acting from feeling. Whether built from metal or simply behaving like one, a robot is defined by repeating complex actions automatically rather than by any particular shape.
