This image appears to be whimsical and not illustrative in nature. It seems to not be useful for the article, and I submit that it should be removed. (Though, admittedly, it's pretty cute.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guyne (talk • contribs) 21:29, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Agreed, it looks like a children's drawing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.209.163.158 (talk) 22:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

laparoscopic machine

The graphic of "A laparoscopic robotic surgery machine" is inappropriate for this article. The system depicted is the daVinci surgical assist system, which is always under the control of a surgeon, not a "surgical robot" as it is unfortunately called in the media. A "surgical robot" would function autonomously, without the concurrent control of a surgeon. To date, no such system has been approved for clinical use. 24 Aug 2012

If the definition of "robot" includes "remotely controlled" then it would be a robot. Problem is the article is so badly written its hard to say. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology - The word "robot" is derived from Slovak "robota", which means work. 89.173.212.174 (talk) 20:00, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. The article already mentions the word "robota" and the fact that it means work in many Slavic languages. — Reatlas (talk) 11:39, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of the term during WW2, and entry into common parlance

During World War 2, Nazis developed ballistic missiles ^[1] ^[2] which were commonly refered to as "robots". The word gained prominence in this regard before Asimov's definition took over. Does anyone want to take a stab at including this information under "history" or "etymology" or even "trivia"? I think it's a notable hole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambiguator (talk • contribs) 17:28, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robots in society sources

The sources cited in the Robots in society section are all at least 6 years old and I believe no longer accurate because robots are a quickly developing technology. Also, they don't support the generalized claims made in this section. I suggest deleting this section if better sources are not available. Mllyjn (talk) 22:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
