In Greek mythology, genius metalworker Daedalus crafted a bronze giant named Talos who faithfully watched over the Island of Crete, driving off any would-be invaders by flinging stones at them--an ancient Greek version of Robocop. Centuries later, the ancient Chinese text Liezi tells us about master craftsman Yan who creates a wooden man of sorts, complete with all the innards, as a gift for King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty.
希臘神話中，巧匠戴德勒斯曾製造銅人巨無霸 Talos，它忠誠地守護克里特島，若發現入侵者就丟擲石塊驅趕，功能就像今日的保全機器人。
