Abstract
Ever since the dawn of civilization, we as humans have been fascinated with machines and devices that can replicate aspects of biology, in particular of ourselves. Some are created for our entertainment, some to facilitate us in our daily lives, and historically speaking some were even created for imitating the power of gods (religious relics) [1]. The themes of these developments have gone in and out of trends in various forms, but the most fundamental issues were to explore points toward the eventuation of robotics as we know it today.
