    Sensors (Robot's senses): Sensors are the devices that give a robot the ability

                        to perceive its environment. They gather data such as light, sound, temperature,
                        proximity and pressure and convert it into electrical signals that are sent to the
                        controller. Without sensors, a robot would be unable to interact effectively with the

                        world.

                        Actuators (Muscles of the robot): Actuators are the components that produce
                        motion  in the  robot,  converting  energy  into  physical  movement.  They can

                        be  powered by  electricity,  hydraulic  fluid or compressed  air. Actuators  are
                        responsible for moving the robot's arms, legs, wheels or other parts.
