SEOUL, April 17 (UPI) — South Korean officials said Friday they have created a plan to boost the nation into the top three countries for robotics technology and applications by 2013.

The officials said the plan was finalized Friday at a meeting of the National Science and Technology Council that was chaired by President Lee Myung-bak, The Korea Times reported Friday.

The Robot Special Act, which calls for a $750,000 investment in research and development, aims to propel South Korea into the top three nations for robotics by 2013 and capture 20 percent of the global market by 2018.

“By 2013, the domestic robot market will reach four trillion won ($3 million) in value, lift Korea’s global market share to 13.3 percent and boost robot exports to $1 billion,” Knowledge and Economy Minister Lee Youn-ho said.

Robotics Short Story

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"
