Abstract
The contribution sketches the emergence of the present day robotic art as the result and reflection of activities in fields of ancient mythology, the development of science, technology, art creativity and science fiction (both in the literature and in cinematography) in the first half of the previous century, and the convergence of art and scientific and technical development mainly during the second half of the 20th Century.
