Sensors

Sensors allow robots to detect and interpret their environment, capturing
data such as light, distance and motion. This information is crucial for the
robot to make decisions and navigate its surroundings. Advanced sensors
can also detect more complex factors like temperature and pressure.

Processor/Microcontroller

The processor or microcontroller acts as the robot’s brain,
processing sensor data and executing tasks. It runs algorithms to
make decisions and send commands to the robot’s components.
In more complex robots, multiple processors may be used for
different functions.

Actuators

Actuators are responsible for the robot’s physical movements,
converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. They allow the
robot to interact with and manipulate objects in its environment. These
can include motors, hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic actuators.

Power Source

The power source provides the necessary energy for the robot’s
components to function, typically through rechargeable batteries. It
needs to be reliable and provide enough capacity for the robot’s
tasks. Some robots also use alternative energy sources like solar
cells.

AI Software
AI software enables robots to process data, learn from experiences
and make autonomous decisions. It includes algorithms and
machine learning models for tasks like object recognition.
The software improves over time as the robot learns from its
environment.
