Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The robot’s tall stature and tendency to shake resulted in its name: We worked for a month trying to find a good name for it, ranging from Greek names to whatnot, and then one of us said, ‘Hey, it shakes like hell and moves around, let’s just call it Shakey.
Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest robots as we know them were created in the early 1950s by George C. Devol, an inventor from Louisville, Kentucky.
