The Good Stuff | A History Of Robots @TheGoodStuff | Uploaded June 2015 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Craig and Matt look at the surprisingly long history of robots--from ancient times to the renaissance to the industrial revolution--and contemplate what it means to be a machine. Is the universe a machine? Are we machines? What is the history of robots? Are we robots?
