In the 19th century, British mathematician, inventor Charles Babbage 's writings brought a basic contribution to robotics. He invented the concept of the programmable computer and Babbage's analytical engine to create a program.

Another important advance came from George bull, who invented a new kind of logic -- the basis of modern digital computer logic. His algebra became the core of computer circuit design.

In mathematics, computer science and technology in the 20th century made great progress, Norbert Wiener, John von Neumann, Alan Turing and Claude Sharon conceptual contributions are greatly promoted the development of robot technology innovation. Bertola particularly praised Shannon's contribution to the digital age.

In the first decade of this century, robots roamed the planet, performed operations, made other mobile robots, played the violin, provided health care, and so on.
