Abstract

Humans have always dreamed of building artificial beings that take over tedious, annoying or dangerous tasks, that entertain them and that are subject to human command. This fascination is reflected in literature. Golems made of clay, Homunkuli, i.e., bio-chemical creatures, or androids, that are pure technical devices come into play in ancient times [131].
