“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” wrote the prominent British science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke in 1973. Many of us remember one of his characters called HAL, an intelligent robot, visually represented by a red camera eye in the film ‘2001: a Space Odyssey’, who controls the systems of a spacecraft and interacts with the ship's crew. Robots, especially sophisticated and intelligent ones, capture our imagination easily. Robots have been with us for a long time, they are an integral part of our economy. Growth figures are really impressive: according to the International Federation of Robotics, global shipments of industrial robots increased by more than 60 percent between 2000 and 2012, but we can expect a more dramatic explosion in the forthcoming years of our century. This trend can be explained easily: they are getting more and more flexible versatile, their intelligence is growing, costs are shrinking. Robots don’t get tired, do not ask for promotions and raises, do not go on strike. Their technical progress and how they appear everywhere in our life is fascinating. Beside factory production, robots may change urban life, transportation, healthcare, our homes and many other things.
