The word robot was introduced in 1920 in a play by Karel Capek called R.U.R. , or Rossum's Universal Robots. Robot comes from the Czech word robota, meaning forced labour or drudgery.

I think it's a greek word, however I'm pretty sure Arthur C. Clarke was the first to use it in it's modern context.
