MOTORS

                 Motors are an important part of actuators that make the robot’s parts move. They are used for
                 rotating wheels, moving robotic arms, or tilting sensors. Common types of motors include DC
                 motors, stepper motors, and servo motors.


                 CONTROLLERS
                 Controllers act  as the  robot’s  brain, making  decisions  and controlling  all other  components.
                 The controller processes data from sensors and sends commands to motors and actuators to
                 perform actions. Some examples of controllers include microcontrollers, processors, and artificial
                 intelligence (AI) systems.




                           WHAT IS A CIRCUIT?

                 A circuit is a pathway for electricity to flow. It is made up of different electrical components that
                 are connected to allow electric current to pass through. Circuits are used in electronic devices,
                 robots, and machines to make them work.




                           ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

                 Electronic components are small parts used in circuits to control electricity and make electronic
                 devices  work. These components  are found in  TVs,  mobile phones, computers, robots,  and
                 many other devices.


                 LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)

                 LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a small light that glows when electricity passes through it. It is used
                 in TV screens, mobile phones, traffic lights, and decorative lights. LEDs last longer than normal
                 bulbs, do not get very hot, and save electricity.


                 BATTERY
                 Battery is a power source that stores and provides energy to different devices. It is used in

                 remote controls, mobile phones, laptops, and toys. A battery has two terminals: positive (+) and
                 negative (-). When placed in a circuit, it allows electricity to flow and make things work. Some
                 batteries can be recharged, like those in mobile phones, while others, like AA and AAA batteries,
                 are used once and then replaced.




                           TINKERCAD CIRCUIT

                 Tinkercad Circuits is an online simulation tool that allows users to design, build, and test electronic
                 circuits without using physical components. It is part of Tinkercad, a beginner-friendly platform
                 by Autodesk for learning electronics, coding, and 3D design.
