It seems that everything is possible for Japanese. While other countries in the world were trying to create best way of powering their underwater robot the Japanese already worked on their smaller under water robot that powered with hydrogen. This underwater robot designed in a fish shape with the fuel cell inside the transparent body. Osaka City University’s academics were the designer of this robot fish. Their hydrogen-powered robot fish hydrogen power could power the robot to swim continuously for three days. Moreover, this robot was a programmable robot fish said the team.
We have seen the robotics history before from water clock in 250 B.C. until the 1937/1938 Elektro the mechanical man by Westinghouse. This article will try to mention the robots and years after 1938. There are six major inventions that lies between 1942 to 1959. The first one was in 1942. In this year Willard Pollard and Harold Roselund designed the first programmable paint spraying mechanism for US De Vilbiss Company. 1946 was the year where George Devol patented his general purpose playback device for machine controlling using magnetic recording. 1948 – 1949 was the year of Grey Walter when he built his first robot Elmer and Elsie that stands for Electro Mechanical Robots and Light Sensitive. These robots also well known as turtle and tortoise robot as they move slowly in respond to light.
