The first time the word robot was used in a 1920s story to described a humanoid machine, but the biggest success for robotics up to the present day has not been humanoid assistants but industrial robot arms in factories. Now, however, non-industrial robots are becoming important as artificial intelligence improves, and fast networks enable the use of cheaper, more powerful data analysis, information retrieval and control delivered from the cloud.
