The year 1937 is significant in the history of robotics primarily because of the work of British mathematician and logician Alan Turing. In that year, Turing published a paper titled "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem" where he introduced the concept of a Turing machine. This theoretical construct laid important groundwork for computer science and the principles underlying artificial intelligence and autonomous machines.
