    Below is the description of the main components of a robot:

                         Sensors: Used to detect inputs like light, sound, touch and distance and to
                         send that data to the controller.

                         Controller: This acts as the robot’s brain. It receives information and sends

                         commands.

                         Body/Frame: The structure that holds all the robot’s components together.

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

                         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.

                      MACHINE VS ROBOT

                      A machine is any device that uses energy to perform a task, such as a fan,

                      washing machine or bicycle.

                      Some examples of machines are bicycle and vacuum cleaner.

                      A robot is a type of machine, but it is more advanced. Robots can sense, think

                      and act, often without constant human control.
