They Machine Stops was in 1909. In 1921 we got R. U. R. (Rossom's Universal Robots)

R.U.R.: Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Čapek | Goodreads
Written in 1920, R.U.R. premiered in Prague in 1921, and was first performed in New York in 1922, garnering worldwide acclaim for its author and popularizing the word "robot". Mass-produced as efficient laborers to serve humans, Capek's Robots are an android product. They remember everything but think of nothing new.
