2. REDUCES HUMAN EFFORT
Robots can do hard and repetitive tasks, reducing human workload. This helps people focus on
creative and more important work.
3. IMPROVES SAFETY
Robots can be used in dangerous jobs, such as bomb disposal, space exploration, and working in
hazardous environments, keeping humans safe.
4. HELPS IN MEDICINE
Medical robots assist doctors in surgeries, patient care, and rehabilitation. They can perform
precise surgeries and help patients recover faster.
5. SUPPORTS LEARNING AND INNOVATION
Robotics is an important part of STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics). It helps students learn coding, engineering, and problem-solving skills.
6. ENHANCES SPACE EXPLORATION
Robots like the Mars Rover help scientists explore planets where humans cannot go. They send
back important information about space.
7. IMPROVES DAILY LIFE
Home robots like vacuum cleaners, personal assistants, and smart security robots make life
easier by helping with household chores and security.
BASIC COMPONENTS OF ROBOTS
A robot is made up of different parts that help it sense, move, and think. The main components
of a robot are sensors, actuators, motors, and controllers.
SENSORS
Sensors act as the robot’s eyes and ears, helping it detect and understand its surroundings. They
collect information and send it to the robot’s controller. Examples of sensors include cameras,
microphones, touch sensors, and infrared sensors. Sensors allow robots to see objects, hear
sounds, measure temperature, or detect movement.
ACTUATORS
Actuators function like muscles, allowing the robot to move and perform tasks by converting energy
into motion. Some common types of actuators include hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and
electric actuators. Actuators help robots lift objects, move arms, open grippers, and walk.
