1960 - 1979

The Modern Era (1900-2000)
The 1960s saw an explosion in popular conceptions of robots, with the Jetsons “Rosie” appearing on lunchboxes and Lost in Space inspiring Robbie toys. The BBC tv series “Dr. Who” creates the sinister and long lasting “Daleks” who repeatedly threaten to take over the world. The 1960s and 70s introduced robots with a full range of human characteristics, from the frightening robots of Westworld to the most popular robots of all time, C3PO and R2D2.
