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.
