The year 1957 is significant in the history of robotics primarily because it marks the creation of the first industrial robot. This robot, known as Unimate, was developed by George Devol and later refined by him in collaboration with Robert D. Brooks. Unimate was designed for industrial tasks, specifically for use in a General Motors assembly line for handling hot metal parts and performing tasks that were dangerous or repetitive for human workers.
