The interindividual agreement has evolved to include proximity and distance matching. Getting rid of spatial restrictions is nothing new; the method and advancements converge, and "relocalization of decentralised" assumes its form. An anthropomorphized robot that feeds on signs, analyses buildings, and modifies taxes is development's master artisan. According to the "era of simulacrum," this is how reality is created.

The man has always wanted to create a man in a lab. In the Middle Ages, alchemists worked intensively to create a homunculus (lat. small man). Due to the short lifespan of most of the homunculus, the plan was unsuccessful. However, man devised the idea of building a mechanical humanoid that is simpler than "a small man" since it lacks the complexity of biology.

Every time an era came near this transition, rationalism, or firm faith in reason, came to define it.

In the textual traces, the term can be found, such as those left by Goethe in the second act of Faust, where Wagner is making one homunculus. Relics of the first humanoid robots, for example, have also been preserved in literature in "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, and in "Sandman" by E.T.A Hoffman. An unusual mechanic with the appearance of a beautiful lady makes an appearance in the 1816 novella "Sandman." Thus, in those years, the name „robot“ has not been in use.

It wasn't until 1920 that Karel Čapek wrote Rossum's Universal Robots, a drama in which he coined the term "robot." An interesting fact, Čapek's drama action was set in 1932, and the time gap between the two acts is ten years. In addition, the first computers appear on the market from 1932 to 1935.

The Čapek writes drama not to warn of robots but of their speedy development. Every area of human science is currently involved in creating robots and enhancing their senses, perceptions, and motor abilities. Stanislav Lem, a science fiction writer, claimed that technology encompasses everything civilization wanted: an artificial extension of innate tendencies of nature and the power over nature. However, the accelerated development of technology has harmed cultural patterns.

The direction of society could be a norm or aberration.

Given that cybernetics are served with all the collected knowledge of humans; whether aberration in physical terms is our misplaced lens system that creates a vague image of the world; or a biological sense; a drastic change in the shape and structure of all living organisms; or if we talk about the legal aspect, is the aberration a missed blow and a crime over a man; and there, it may be words about psychological aberration.

For cybernetics, knowledge is information and research into the regularity of the world, while technology is to exploit the knowledge gathered about that world for all human needs. Due to such aspirations, the art of viability is swallowed as subject to the laws of the economy and meets the symptoms of inflation and devaluation. It leads to a mass culture and mass entertainment that must be easy due to the foreign exchange of the technology that reads: consultation.

The language of the cyberneticist is observed as a system of " pre-programmed individual “. Cybernetics is interested in processes, management, regulation, and transmission of information on biological, social and technical systems. Disciplines include information theories, coding theories, formal language theories, games, mathematical logic, algorithm theories, and robotics programming.

In Čapek’s drama, robots have a soul, feel anger, and are aware but mechanical beings. The motto of his drama is: „Robots of the world! The power of man has fallen! A new world has arisen: The Rule of the Robots! March!“
