Ancient Indian Robotics
They were three in number and were named as Dama, Vyala and Kata. Kata was like a modern tank protecting army. The word ‘Kat’ means to go, to cover. It could go and cover the army so the name. The name ‘Dama’ is derived from the root Dam which means to tame, subdue, conquer, restrain of course the enemy. ‘Vyala’ means vicious, fierce, cruel, savage like tiger or snake. Those three Robots were lifeless machines and therefore had no sentiments, no emotions, so they were never defeated.
They always won the wars against Adityas (gods). So Adityas played a trick to induce sentiments and emotions in them. They fought with the three Robots and ran away, many times,with defeat. This induced Ego in the Robots.Ego arises as the robots were thinking due to artificial intelligence.At the same time Adityas talked to them and told that because of their valor Sambarasura wins and enjoys his life at their cost.This added emotions and sentiments. They felt that they should also enjoy their lives.As the human sentiments arose, fear too propped up in them. Naturally they could not fight with the previous zeal and ere defeated by Adityas.
