> The earliest known industrial robot, conforming to the ISO definition was completed by "Bill" Griffith P. Taylor in 1937 and published in Meccano Magazine, March 1938. The crane-like device was built almost entirely using Meccano parts, and powered by a single electric motor.
Yeah I probably read a bit too quickly. 1937 was just the first robot that met the ISO definition, but it was not a real industrial robot.
