    This block helps robots think, plan and respond. For example, humanoid robots use algorithms to
                      balance and recognise speech, drones use them to control flight and mobile robots use them to
                      plan routes and avoid obstacles.

                      RECOGNISING AND UNDERSTANDING ROBOTS

                      Robots can be identified by observing how they look, move and perform tasks. This can be done
                      through demonstrations, videos or by studying their technical details.

                         Observing robots in action: Watching a robot perform tasks can give you important insights
                         into its design and capabilities. For instance, observing a robot move, pick up objects or interact
                         with its environment can help you understand its mobility, precision and level of automation.
                         Exploring robots through videos: Videos can provide a closer look at what robots can do.
                         They can show robots performing complex tasks like walking, flying or solving problems and
                         give a visual understanding of their design and control systems.

                         Understanding technical details: Examining a robot’s technical specifications, such as its
                         size, weight, power needs and parts like actuators and sensors, can reveal how the robot
                         works. The robot’s control system and software also indicate its intelligence and decision-
                         making skills.
                         Considering the robot’s purpose: The intended purpose of a robot is key to understanding its
                         capabilities. Some robots are designed for specific tasks like cleaning or manufacturing, while
                         others, such as humanoid robots, can do a variety of activities. Knowing its purpose helps
                         identify what it can do and where it may have limitations.

                      ROBOTS BASED ON SIZE AND DESIGN

                      Robots come in many sizes and shapes, depending
                      on what they are made to do. The size and design            SMART        Japan has 40% of the
                      of a robot depend on the task it is built for. Let’s look    SPARK    world’s robots, making it the

                      the largest.
                      Microbots: Tiny Robots

                      Microbots are tiny robots, usually less than a millimetre in size. Despite their small size, they are
                      incredibly powerful and can perform jobs that require a high level of precision. These robots are
                      designed to work in very small spaces, which makes them perfect for tasks like working inside the
                      human body or in environments that are difficult for larger robots to reach.

                      Some examples of microbots are:

                         together  to  complete  tasks.  For example,  they  can be  used
                         to  monitor  environmental  conditions,  such as  measuring  air
                         quality  or even respond  to  emergencies,  such as helping in
                         rescue operations.
