                 Artificial Intelligence in a conference. He created
                 the programming language LISP in 1958 which

                 was  extensively used to program  AI systems.
                 He is known as 'Father of AI'.

                 In 1973, WABOT was created by Ichiro Kato. This was the first step towards building
                 a humanoid robot. WABOT walked with his lower limbs and was able to grip and
                 transport objects with his hands.
