In ancient China, a curious account on automata is found in the Lie Zi text, written in the 3rd century BC. Within it there is a description of a much earlier encounter between King Mu of Zhou (1023-957 BC) and a mechanical engineer known as Yan Shi, an 'artificer'. The latter proudly presented the king with a life-size, human-shaped figure of his mechanical handiwork

1500 to 1800

Between 1500 and 1800, many automatons were built including ones capable of acting, drawing, flying, and playing music

several mechanical calculators were also built in this time period, some of the most famous ones are Wilhelm Schickard's "Calculating Clock", Blaise Pascal's "Pascaline", and the "Liebniz Stepped Drum", by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

InventionsJohn Kay invented his "

flying shuttle" in 1733the "Spinning Jenny" was

invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves

Samuel Crompton's Spinning Mule first developed in 1779 is a fully automated power driven spinning machine capable of spinning hundreds of threads at once.
