Robotics is an exciting and dynamic field that blends science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to create machines known as robots. These robots can perform tasks that are either too repetitive, dangerous, or complex for humans.
A robot is a programmable machine capable of carrying out a series of actions autonomously or semi-autonomously. They can be designed to interact with the physical world through sensors, actuators, and various control systems.
The physical body of the robot, often designed to resemble a human, animal, or machine.
Made from materials like metal, plastic, and composite materials for strength and durability.
Devices that allow the robot to perceive its environment.
Examples include cameras, ultrasonic sensors, touch sensors, and infrared sensors.
Components that enable the robot to move and interact with objects.
Include motors, servos, and hydraulic systems.
The "brain" of the robot, usually a computer or microcontroller.
Executes programs and processes input from sensors to control the actuators.
Provides the necessary energy for the robot to operate.
Can be batteries, solar power, or wired electricity.
