Where does the word robot mean?

The Word "robot" originates from the Czech term "robota," meaning forced labor or drudgery. It was first popularized by playwright Karel Čapek in his 1920 play "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)," where it referred to artificial beings created to serve humans. Today, the term encompasses a wide range of automated machines capable of performing tasks, often mimicking human behavior.
