Robot has its roots in Russum's Universal Robots a Czech play that you should look up. I think robot literally means in Czech, but I am not a scholar of the region and you should not cite wikipedia. I am trying to say that this is well trod territory.
Actually, "robota" is the old Czech word for working your feudal lord's fields - so robots are workers, but with the connotation of "for someone else's gain". I'm Czech, please quote me in your thesis, it would be the first time someone being Czech ever amounted to anything since like 1420.

Anyhow, yeah, you pretty much have to start with R.U.R. for a topic like this. Whether it's a good idea is another question, obviously.
