I recently saw this play, and it was quite excellent. The issues raised about industrialization, outsourcing, international politics, and sentience of machines are becoming more important today than they were when it was written. I also detected quite a few subtle jabs at Communism.
Coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. – Rossum's Universal Robots, from the Czech word robota, "forced labor".
And then I will name my other cat robot. But only if it has a round-shaped head.
