    Have you ever played a video game or used a robot toy? Some of the things you
                      see and use are real, while others are made to act like they’re real, these are called

                      simulated components. In this chapter, you’ll learn how both real and simulated
                      components work, where you find them and why they’re both important in technology
                      and innovation.

                      ROBOTICS COMPONENTS

                      Every robot is made up of different parts that
                      help it move, sense and think. These parts are

                      called robotics components. Each component
                      has a special job, some help the robot move
                      and act in the real world, while others help it

                      process information and make decisions inside
                      a computer.

                      Robotics components can be grouped into two main types:

                         n Hardware components: These are the real parts that you can touch and see.

                         n Virtual components: These are the digital parts used on a computer to control
                         the robot.

                      These components work together to help robots function effectively and perform
                      various tasks in both real and virtual environments.

                      HARDWARE COMPONENTS

                      Hardware components are the tangible parts of a robot that enable it to interact
                      with the environment and perform tasks. These visible hardware pieces are made

                      from materials like plastic, metal and wires that form the body and structure of the
                      robot, allowing it to move, sense and function properly.

                      The hardware components of a robot are given below:

                         n Body:  The body  is the structural  framework
                         of  the  robot  that  holds  all the  components
                         together. It provides stability and support to the

                         motors, sensors and other parts of the robot.
