Robots Throughout History

   During the Spring Semester of 1998, I researched and wrote a paper on the history of robots, from their beginnings in folklore and mythology to their most recent incarnations in Science Fiction and Fantasy novels and movies.  You can read my work below.  For ease of reading, I've split it into five sections and a bibliography.  I hope you enjoy it!
