I vote for numerically controlled machine tools around 1960

Robbie from 'forbidden planet' predates that by at least 4 years... ;)

On a serious note (f#), I'd say the Jacquard loom.

please tell me which activity was the first step in robotics?
thanks.

Probably the first example of a data-controlled machine is the Jaquard loom
of approx 1850

~350 B.C
The brilliant Greek mathematician, Archytas ('ahr 'ky tuhs') of Tarentum
builds a mechanical bird dubbed "the Pigeon" that is propelled by steam.
It serves as one of histories earliest studies of flight, not to mention
probably the first model airplane.
