	The word "robot" originates in Czech writer Karel Čapek ~~1920~~'s play [[Wikipedia:R.U.R.\|''R.U.R.'']], ''Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti'' (Rossum's Universal Robots). While the robots featured in the play are artificial biological organisms, their mass-production in [[Wikipedia:Fordism\|Fordist]] assembly lines and their use for unpleasant, repetitive labor has seen the term applied to mechanical automatons. The term "robot", attributed by Karel Čapek to his brother Josef, comes from the Czech word ''robota'', meaning "forced labor" or "serf labor".

	Most robots' appearances and shapes depend on their use. [[Wikipedia:Industrial robot\|Industrial robots]] used in assembly lines, for example, are articulated arms with tools specific to their functions at their end. [[Wikipedia:Humanoid robot\|Humanoid robots]] are a subset of robots built to resemble the human body to various degrees. The words "[[Wikipedia:Android (robot)\|android]]" and "[[Wikipedia:Gynoid\|gynoid]]" come from the Greek language, and respectively mean "having the form or likeness of man" (as in male) and "having the form or likeness of woman", and have been used to describe robots with high degrees of resemblance to human beings. The male "android" has been widely accepted as gender-neutral, and applicable to both male and female-presenting robots.		Most robots' appearances and shapes depend on their use.

	"[[Fembot]]" is a [[Wikipedia:Portmanteau\|portmanteau]] of the words "female" and "robot", first appearing in the three-parts 1976 crossover episodes "Kill Oscar" of the ''[[Gallery/The Bionic Woman\|The Bionic Woman]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Six Million Dollar Man\|The Six Million Dollar Man]]'' TV shows.

	A '''robot''' is an electromechanical device that performs work by itself or with direction based on its computer [[programming]] or microcircuitry. Colloquially, the term often refers to a machine in humanoid form. When it is used this way, it is used as a catch-all term that can include specific definitions like [[android]], [[gynoid]] or [[fembot]].
