« A robot is made up of three main parts or blocks: mechanical, electronic and
computational. (iii) Humanoid Robots (iv) Snakebots
« The mechanical block includes the physical parts of the robot such as the body, joints and
actuators. B. Write ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.
« The electronic block helps the robot sense and understand its environment. 1. Insectbots are typically very large and heavy.
« The computational block acts as the robot's brain, processing information, making decisions and 2. Soft snakebots are made from flexible materials.
controlling its actions through software and algorithms.
« Robots can be identified by observing how they look, move and perform tasks. 3. All robots are large and used in factories.
« Robots come in many sizes and shapes, depending on what they are made to do. 4. Industrial robots like those from ABB can perform packaging tasks.
« Industrial robots are large, programmable machines designed to perform specific tasks in 5. Humanoid robots like Sophia can display emotions.
