A robot is a physical device capable of independent movement. It has a software component to steer it, but does not necessarily have (artificial) intelligence.
The word "Robot" was coined by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). It comes from a Czech word meaning labour.
