Locomotion Device

                  Human beings use muscles to give movements to their arms, palms and fingers. For a
                  robot, the power comes from motors. Three fuels are used in locomotion, depending on
                  the energy source.

                  There are three widespread types of Locomotive devices.

                  •  Electric: This uses magnets and  electric  current  to facilitate movement.  They  are
                     noiseless and easy to program.

                  •  Hydraulic: This uses oil to facilitate movement. They are used in heavy machinery,
                     which includes mining and construction equipment.

                  •  Pneumatic: This uses air to facilitate movement. They are used in Rock drills, pavement
                     breakers, paint sprayers, etc.









































                  Controller
                  Human beings and animals sense their surroundings through their sense organs and then

                  react accordingly based on the sense organs’ feedback.  Robots use the same response
                  system as human beings-the feedback system. The CPU of a robot does the same thing
                  based on data collected by its sensors.
