Early examples include water clocks, automated looms, and basic mechanical tools. However, the true foundation of automation began during the First Industrial Revolution (late 18th century), when mechanization was introduced through steam-powered machines.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1505\">The Second Industrial Revolution (late 19th to early 20th century) marked a significant leap with the introduction of electricity and assembly line production. Henry Ford\u2019s assembly line system revolutionized manufacturing by enabling mass production with minimal manual intervention. Although these systems were not \u201crobotic\u201d in the modern sense, they laid the groundwork for automation.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1510\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"151cgdo\" data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1555\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emergence_of_Robotics_Mid-20th_Century\"><\/span>Emergence of Robotics: Mid-20th Century<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"1952\">The development of modern robotics began in the mid-20th century. In 1954, George Devol invented the first programmable robot, later known as the Unimate. This robot was installed in a General Motors plant in 1961, marking the first use of an industrial robot in manufacturing. Early robots were primarily used for repetitive and hazardous tasks such as welding, painting, and material handling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1954\" data-end=\"2290\">During the 1970s and 1980s, advancements in electronics and computing enabled more sophisticated robotic systems. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) became widely used, allowing machines to be controlled with greater precision and flexibility.
