Even though the term "robot" was first used in the modern sense in the 1920 play Rossum's Universal Robots, it wasn't until 1938 when Capek's play was adapted by the BBC, and became the first piece of television science fiction ever to be broadcast, was the term popularized.
"Mickey's Mechanical Man" from 1933 appears as a projector screen level in the 2010 video game "Epic Mickey".
