Robots can only do what their brain is told, so they always follow the rules

                 we give them. They are great helpers because they do exactly what we
                 say, every time.

                 Robot’s Arm


                 A robot’s arm works just like our own arms.

                 It  can  move  up,  down,  and  around  to  help
                 the robot do things. Just like how we use our

                 arms to pick up toys or reach for things, a
                 robot uses its arm to do jobs like lifting, holding, or moving objects.


                 The robot’s arm has joints, just like our elbows, which allow it to bend
                 and reach in different directions. It is strong and can help do things that

                 are hard for people, like lifting heavy things or doing tasks over and over
                 without getting tired.


                 So, when a robot has a job to do, its arm moves where it needs to go and
                 helps it get the work done.

                 1.  Pretend to Be a Robot

                    Let us all pretend to be robots. Imagine,

                    you are a robot moving around the room.
                    You will “sense” objects like a toy, a book,

                    or  a  ball.  Then,  you  will  “think”  about
                    what to do next. Finally, you will “act” by

                    moving towards it and picking it up.

                 2.  What to Do

                        Look around and find an object you want
                       to move towards (like a toy).
