The play introduced the word "robot" to the English language and to science fiction as a whole, and has been enormously influential in popular culture. In 1938 a 35-minute adaptation of a section of the play was broadcast on BBC Television: the first piece of television science-fiction ever to be broadcast. The robots in the play eventually rebel against and exterminate the human race. One critic has described Capek's robots as epitomizing "the traumatic transformation of modern society by the First World War and the Fordist assembly line", although Capek himself saw the play as part comedy and ending with faith that humanity would survive albeit in a different form. Early printings of the play are uncommon.
