three building blocks, which block is responsible for the physical movement of the welding arm
and what specific components would it include?

2. You are at a tech exhibition and see a robot that can change its shape by rearranging its
segments to either crawl through a pipe or climb a small wall. What type of robot is this and
what specific category does it fall under?
