Dr. W. Grey Walter, one of the great pioneers in the field of robotics, develops the first autonomous tortoise-type robots, (Elsie and Elmer) (ElectroMEchanical Robot, Light-Sensitive), designed with wheel motors controlled by very basic electronic circuitry and two vacuum tubes. 1951: Raymond designs the first 'teleoperator' - a device allowing actions to be performed at a distance. Raymonds's device was an articulated arm, used to handle radioactive material.

Nanotechnology.
Nanomedicine is a branch of nanotechnology which includes the construction, repair, monitoring and control of the human body at the molecular level. Basically this technology will be comprised of tiny nanomachines and programmable nanorobots which will be able to operate on the human body with greater precision than ever before Created by Matt Romita and Mohammed Hasham for BCS 312 and used in BCS 555 imagined

Final Question
Scientist worry that if we eventually have robots smart enough to do our dirty work for us then they will also be smart enough to refuse to do the work. Then would we suddenly have a robotic-rebellion on our hands?
