Robots can be configured with a range of advanced features, including
mechanical arms, sensors, cameras, and more, which enable them to perceive

and interact with their environment in various ways.

Robotics: The study of robotics is about
harnessing the power of technology to
create intelligent machines that can think,

learn, and adapt. It’s an interdisciplinary
field that combines art, engineering, and

computer science to bring robots to life.

• Building Robots: The process of building
a robot is similar to crafting a piece of
art, where precision, creativity, and attention to detail come together. We

carefully select and assemble various components, such as wheels, motors,
and sensors, to create a functioning robot that can move and perform tasks.

• Programming Robots: Once the physical structure is built, robots need to
be programmed to understand what to do. This involves using programming

languages to impart knowledge and instructions to the robot, effectively
giving it a “brain” that enables it to make decisions and take actions.

• Controlling Robots: After building and programming, robots can be
controlled using various methods, including remote controls, buttons, or
even autonomous operation. This allows us to command robots to perform

specific tasks, adjust their speed or direction, or stop in response to changing
conditions.

Understanding the Concept of STA

Robots are like smart helpers that can sense their environment, think about

what to do, and then act accordingly. This process is often summarised as STA:
Sense, Think, and Act. Understanding this concept helps us learn how robots
work and make decisions.

1. Sense: Sensing is the heart of any robotic

system, allowing the robot to gather data about
its environment and make informed decisions.
Without sensing, a robot would be unable to

perceive its surroundings making it impossible
for it to perform even the most basic tasks.
