George Devol was born in 1912. He was an
American inventor.

It was a robotic arm that moved things.
He heard the word ‘robot’ in a play when he was nine
years old. That was 33 years before he made his
robot arm.

In the 1940s, he invented other things, too, including an
automatic door that opened when people walked near it,
and a machine that cooked hot dogs.

George Devol died in 2011. He was 99 years old.
