The year 1928 is notable in robotics primarily due to the work of British mathematician and engineer William Grey Walter. In that year, he created some of the first autonomous robots, known as "tortoises." These were simple electromechanical devices that could exhibit behavior resembling life and intelligence. The tortoises were designed to navigate their environment, respond to light, and avoid obstacles, demonstrating fundamental principles of feedback and control systems.
