The History of Robots There are numerous examples of automated machines and robotic development in both ancient and more recent history, but the first truly modern robot to be added to the history of robots was invented by George C. Devol in 1954. This robot was called Unimate. In 1961, Unimate became the first industrial robot to work at the assembly line of a New Jersey General Motors plant. Programmed to take die castings from machines and perform welding on auto bodies, Unimate was obviously very far from the romantic notion of androids, or human-like robots.

- The AE Strowger Dial Candlestick. 11-digit dial telephone, circa 1905. A Kansas City (Kansas) inventor named Almon Strowger invented the first automatic dial telephone system in 1889. This system used rotary relay switches that followed pulses in the central office when a subscriber moved a dial on the telephone. This type of system was called step-by-step or simply step. (See How Phones Work in the Science wing for more about Strowger.) By 1892, the first Strowger Automatic Telephone Exchange was in service in La Porte, Indiana.
