Robots may have various forms and may perform many different tasks, but technically speaking, their structure and behaviour are based much on the same principles.
The study of the robot’s motion is mostly driven by inverse kinematics, because usually the target is known and what is needed is to calculate the angles of the joints that permit the robot to achieve the target.
Besides that, and this is actually a major concern nowadays, robots’ power/density ratio is not satisfactory: the actuators of the robots should be stronger, compared to the weight and height of their structure.

 Robots in literature - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Robots appear in a wide variety of literature and the first use of the word in its modern sense was in Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) (written in 1920; first performed in Czechoslovakia 1921; performed in New York 1922; English edition published 1923) [1].
While Karel Čapek is frequently acknowledged as the originator of the word, he wrote a short letter in reference to the Oxford English Dictionary etymology in which he named his brother, painter and writer Josef Čapek as its true inventor [2].
The theme of robots has been picked up by science fiction writers and many volumes are focussed on Robots and their interaction with the human species.

 C-3PO
He is a protocol droid - an android specifically designed to interact with organics - with a very proper manner and British accent when speaking in English, though he is, "fluent in over six million forms of communication." He is portrayed by actor Anthony Daniels.
It is presumed he will have his memory wiped in that film, as he doesn't seem to recognize Tatooine or the name Skywalker in A New Hope, although there is evidence that 3PO, in his capacity as a protocol droid, does have some expertise at concealing the truth.
In 2004, C-3PO was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame.
