    Let us start with an activity:

                      Imagine  that  you  have to  build  your  own
                      robot. Share your ideas about what your robot

                      would be like and what it would do daily.

                      Now that you have an idea of what your robot
                      would be like and what you want it do, answer
                      the following questions:

                      1.   What are the raw materials needed to build your robot?                             _________

                      2.  What is the shape of your robot?                                                    _________

                      3.  Will your robot work on electricity or solar energy?                                _________
                      4.  Will your robot be operated by buttons or will it be remote-controlled?   _________

                                INTRODUCTION

                      Robots have leaped out of comic books and television screens and landed straight
                      into our reality. Robots are now used in the fields of agriculture, industries, space,

                      medicine, travel and manufacturing. Robotics has reached new heights in the past
                      few years. The continual and rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) paired with
                      robotics has created a storm for engineered innovation. Let us now learn about
                      robots and robotics in detail.

                                WHAT IS A ROBOT?

                      A  robot is an automatic,  programmable   machine  that  follows
                      commands and does work that reduces human effort. The term
                      'robot' is coined from the Czech words ‘robota’ meaning labour

                      and ‘robotnik’ meaning workman.

                      Robots are designed to perform any task either automatically or
                      by a remote control. A robot requires a power source to function.
                      It needs to gain  its  energy through solar charging, electric  charging or battery

                      charging, depending on the amount of work it is designed to perform.

                                       Sophia is the first humanoid to get citizenship from Saudi Arabia on October 25, 2017.
