COMPONENTS OF ROBOTS


                 A robot  consists  of several important  parts that  enable  it  to  interact  with its

                 surroundings and complete tasks.

                 The main components of a robot are as follows:


                  Sensors: Used to detect inputs
                      like light, sound, touch and                    Controller: This acts  as the  robot's
                  distance and to send that data                      brain. It receives information and sends
                                 to the controller.                   commands.



                                                                             Power Supply: Provides energy
                                                                             (from batteries  or electricity)  to  all
                                                                             other robot components.

                                                                                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.

                 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.
