Tik-Tok is a fictional "mechanical man" from the Oz books by American author L. Frank Baum.[1] He has been termed "the prototype robot",[2] and is widely considered to be one of the first robots to appear in modern literature,[3] though the term "Robot" was not used until the 1920s, in the play R.U.R.
