COMPONENTS OF ROBOTS

A robot is made up of several important parts that help it interact with its surroundings

and complete different tasks.

The main components of a robot are as follows:
Controller (Brain of the robot): The controller is

the processing unit which functions as the robot's
brain. It receives information from sensors,

makes decisions based on its programming
and sends signals to the actuators to control
the robot's movements and actions. This

central control unit coordinates all the robot's
components to perform its tasks accurately.

Sensors (Robot's senses): Sensors are the devices
that give a robot the ability to perceive its
environment. They gather data such as light,

sound, temperature, proximity and pressure and
convert it into electrical signals that are sent to
the controller. Without sensors, a robot would be

unable to interact effectively with the world.

Actuators (Muscles of the robot): Actuators
are the components that produce motion in

the robot, converting energy into physical
movement. They can be powered by
electricity, hydraulic fluid or compressed air.

Actuators are responsible for moving the
robot's arms, legs, wheels or other parts.

Power supply (Energy for the robot): The power

supply provides the energy needed for the robot
to operate its controller, sensors and actuators.

This energy can come from batteries, a direct
connection to an electrical outlet, solar power or
other sources, depending on the robot's purpose

and mobility.
