A brief history

Science fiction and robotics have always gone hand in hand. Since ancient times man expresses his desire to produce machines that facilitate common tasks and envisioned the creation of artificial life forms. The story has gone through cycles of automation commuting between fiction (mythology) technology to Londo and the evolution of civilization. Water mills, windmills, animal traction, the energy stored in coil springs, and even thermal machines were used by the Chinese, Hindus, Greeks and Egyptians. The religion and its supernatural experiences need to provide the devotees also had great influence in the quest for giving life to the inanimate. In the sixteenth century, for example, Leonardo da Vinci presented their ideas on how to develop a robot in human form in his Codex Huygens. The first half of the twentieth century marks a return of the technological influence, where the impacts of the development of computers and robots have been imagined by various writers and ficionistas, many of these works helped build the current reality. The axis of fiction, robotics and ethics will explore questions such as how close the technology is that you have dreamed of for so many years the fiction and the "prophecies" will take place or not, and to discuss what are the ethical issues involved if able to create conscious machines sometime.
