R. U. R. - Rossum's Universal Robots is a science fiction classic presented in a radio play format. This adaptation of Karel Capek's work explores the themes of automation and the human condition, echoing the legend of the Golem. The story introduces the term 'robot', derived from the Czech word for 'work'.

The American company Rossums Universal Robots aims to provide the world with humanoid machines designed to free humanity from labor. However, when a scientist secretly gives some robots human emotions, they rise against their exploitation, leading to a dramatic confrontation with humanity.

This production features a talented cast, including Günther Sauer as Harry Domin and Raoul Wolfgang Schnell as Dr. Gall, among others. The direction by Heiner Schmidt and the technical realization by Hans Greb contribute to a compelling listening experience.
