    A new translation of Karel Capek's play R.U.R . -- which famously coined the term "robot" -- and a collection of essays reflecting on the play's legacy from scientists and scholars who work in artificial life and robotics. Karel Capek's "R.U.R." and the Vision of Artificial Life offers a new, highly faithful translation by `tepǹ `imek of Czech novelist, playwright, and critic Karel Capek's play R.U.R.: Rossum's Universal Robots , as well as twenty essays from contemporary writers on the 1920 play. R.U.R. is perhaps best known for first coining the term "robot" (in Czech, robota means serfdom or arduous drudgery). The twenty essays in this new English edition, beautifully edited by Jitka Cejkov,̀ are selected from Robot 100 , an edited collection in Czech with perspectives from 100 contemporary voices that was published in 2020 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the play. Capek's robots were autonomous beings, but biological, not mechanical, made of chemically synthesized soft matter resembling living tissue, like the synthetic humans in Blade Runner, Westworld , or Ex Machina . The contributors to the collection -- scientists and other scholars -- explore the legacy of the play and its connections to the current state of research in artificial life, or ALife. Throughout the book, it is impossible to ignore Capek's prescience, as his century-old science fiction play raises contemporary questions with respect to robotics, synthetic biology, technology, artificial life, and artificial intelligence, anticipating many of the formidable challenges we face today
