On February 11, 1938, BBC Television aired the world's first science fiction TV show, based on a part of the play R.U.R. by Karel Čapek. This groundbreaking broadcast introduced the term "robot" to the world. The word "robot" comes from the Czech word "robota," meaning "labour," coined by Čapek's brother, Josef Čapek. Although no recordings of the broadcast exist, some low-quality still images have survived, marking a significant moment in television history.
