According to 10 Words Coined in the Sci-Fi Universe on my Dictionary.com app,
"While the noun robotics is commonplace today, it wasn't back in 1941 when sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov coined the term in a short story published in Astounding Science Fiction. It took another 20 years before the term really took off, and by the 1980s, robotics had firmly planted itself in the English language."
