    Robots are made up of two main components:
                     1.  Mechanical Components

                     2.  Electronic Components

                     Mechanical Components

                     Mechanical components are the physical
                     parts of a robot that help it move, work and
                     perform tasks. They give the robot its shape,
                     support its movements and allow it to lift, push
                     or carry  things.  Essentially,  they  act  like  the
                     robot’s body and muscles.
                     The  mechanical  components  of a robot  are
                     given below:

                        Wheels or Legs: These help the robot move
                        from one  place  to  another.  Some  robots
                        roll on wheels, while others walk on legs.

                        Motors: Motors are like the robot’s muscles. They turn wheels, move arms or rotate parts so
                        the robot can do its work.
                        Arms and Grippers (End Effectors): These are like the robot’s hands. They help pick up, hold
                        or move objects.

                        Gears: Gears control how fast or strong a robot’s parts move. They help the robot move
                        smoothly and do tasks with the right force.

                     Electronic Components
                     Electronic parts in a robot are the pieces that let it think, sense and act using electricity. They help
                     the robot receive information from its surroundings, make decisions and control movements.
                     Without them, a robot cannot respond to commands or interact with the environment, because
                     they provide the electrical signals needed for its operation.

                                                                   The electronic  components  of a robot  are given
                                                                   below:

                                                                       Microcontroller (Brain): This is like the robot’s
                                                                       brain. It tells the robot what to do.
                                                                       Sensors: These are like the robot’s eyes, ears
                                                                       and skin. They help it see, hear or feel things
                                                                       around it.
                                                                          Light sensor: Notices how bright it is.

                                                                          Ultrasonic sensor: Measures how far things
                                                                          are.
                                                                          Touch sensor: Feels when it is touched.

                                                                                    Robotics, AI and Electronics
                                                                                                                        33
