    n Learning and experimentation: Simulation allows engineers and designers to
     experiment with different designs and scenarios without the need for immediate

     physical resources.  «   Every robot is made up of different parts that help it move, sense and think.
                        «   The body  is the  structural framework of the  robot  that  holds all the
                            components together.
     A robot has been created and tested only in
     simulation, not in the real world. Is it appropriate to   «   Wheels help the robot move smoothly from one place to another.

     What if robots could simulate human emotions, would they still be considered robots or
     would they become something else?

     Limitations of Simulation                                 ROBO CHECK

     Even though simulation is very useful, it has some limitations because it cannot   A.  Tick ( ) the correct option.
