He later sold the patent to general motors, paving the way
for robotics' role in the production industry.NASA lands on the moon using cutting edge
robotics and electrical systems technology.Robots are popularised with the release of
Star Wars: A New HopeThe first self-driving car developed by Mercedes-Benz
is able to drive itself on empty streets using mirrors and sensors.Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov at chessHonda releases ASIMOIBM starts work on Watson, the successor to Deep Blue
which was able to win a game of Jeopardy against former
champions, a feat which requires a high understanding of
natural language.Robot demonstrates self-awareness in a test which
was previously considered only passable by humans.AlphaGo defeats Lee Sedol at Go. This was a major milestone for DeepMind's research
into creating artificial intelligence that can 'learn' how to solve problems regardless
of the context, unlike Deep Blue which is programmed for a specific use caseAlphaGo Zero learns Go in three days with no help. The previous version of AlphaGo had
learnt to play using thousands of videos showing professional games. However,
this version simply played against itself millions of times with nothing given to it but the rules.
This demonstrates that robots are now able to teach themselves skills will little to no
