The word robotics comes from Runaround, a short story published in 1942
by Isaac Asimov. One of the first robots Asimov wrote about was a
robo-therapist. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor,
Joseph Weizenbaum, wrote the Eliza program in 1966, a modern counterpart
to Asimov's fictional character. Weizenbaum initially programmed Eliza
with 240 lines of code to simulate a psychotherapist. The program
answered questions with questions.
