BRIDGE BACK COMPONENTS OF ROBOTS

1. Have you used a voice assistant like Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant? What did you ask it to A robot consists of several important parts that enable it to interact with its

surroundings and complete tasks.
2. Do you remember what a machine or robot needs to work properly?
The main components of a robot are as follows:

Sensors: Used to detect inputs
You have learnt about robots in the previous class. In this chapter, you will learn like light, sound, touch and Controller: This acts as the robot's

about robots that help us every day and make our lives easier. Let’s learn about distance and to send that data brain. It receives information and sends
robots. to the controller. commands.

Power Supply: Provides energy
WHAT IS A ROBOT? (from batteries or electricity) to all
other robot components.
A robot is a machine that can be programmed to do tasks on its own. Robots can

be small, like the ones that clean floors or very big, like the ones that build cars in
factories. Some robots can move, talk and solve simple problems. People create
robots to help with jobs that are too hard, boring or unsafe for humans. End Effector: The part that performs
tasks such as gripping, cutting or
painting, acting as the robot's tool.

Actuators: Components
that generate movement,
such as motors, pumps
and compressors. QR QUEST

robot's components together. 2. What is the role of sensors?

Software/Programming: It is used to give instructions that tell the robot when and

how to act.
Suppose you have an AI device that could make dreams based on your wishes.
What types of dreams would you choose to experience? Each of these components plays a crucial role in the functionality of a robot, allowing
it to perform tasks autonomously and interact with its environment effectively.
