The 20th century witnessed an important period of development in the field of robotics, ushering in a transformative era of technological progress.
It begins with the word itself, which Czech playwright Karel Čapek used in his play "R.U.R." Was coined in. (Rossam's Universal Robots) in 1920, this century saw the conception and subsequent development of a wide range of robotic technologies.
In 1927, the film "Metropolis" featured the iconic robot Maria, a symbolic representation of the era's imaginative exploration of human-like machines.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli forces have surrounded the home of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on Wednesday.
Netanyahu clarified that the IDF did not expect to find Sinwar in the complex, but said it was "only a matter of time" before the terrorist leader was found.
"Two brief updates: Last night I said that our forces could reach anywhere in the Gaza Strip. Now they are surrounding Sinwar's house. So his house is not his fortress, and he can flee, but before we arrive “It is only a matter of time before he does,” Netanyahu said.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned Saturday that Israel's aim of eliminating Hamas risked unleashing a decade of war.

The first recorded print reference is in Cycling News from 1891. For most of his reign, they were known simply as "bicycles", and were the first machines to bear this name, although they were not the first two-wheeled, pedaled vehicles.

Sometime in the late 19th century, the body of a young woman was pulled from the Seine River in Paris. Since there was no evidence of violence, it was assumed that he took his own life. This was not a new thing. On average, about two hundred people are pulled out of the dirty waters of the Seine every year by the Paris river police. At least a quarter of them are corpses, and about half of those taken out are people attempting suicide. The number of young women who commit suicide is highest.
France’s foreign ministry spokesperson said Thursday that the European Union should consider sanctioning violent Israeli settlers who attack Palestinians in the West Bank.
“We believe that the international community has a role to play to end these acts of violence which are extremely destabilizing for the region, but also harm the prospects for a two-state solution,” Anne-Claire Legendre said during a briefing.
