2. Think: The second step in the robotic
process, where a robot’s “brain” - often

powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) -
processes the information it has gathered

through sensing. This step involves making
informed decisions, planning actions, and
solving problems utilising the insights

gained from previous experiences.

3. Act: The final step in the robotic process, where
the robot executes its plan or decision, bringing its

thinking to life through action. This could involve
moving, manipulating objects, communicating, or
performing any other task the robot is designed to

accomplish.

Putting It All Together: STA in Action

Imagine a robot dog, it senses its
environment, thinks about what to do,
and then acts accordingly. The robot

dog uses its camera to see a ball, thinks
that it wants to fetch the ball because
it’s programmed to play, and then moves

toward the ball, grabs it, and brings it
back. This is an example of STA in action.

Understanding Robots Around Us

Robots are versatile machines that can perform various tasks, from simple

household chores to complex industrial operations. Here are some key
applications of robots:

1. Home and Everyday Life: Robots are increasingly
becoming a part of our daily lives, helping us

with routine tasks at home. Examples include
cleaning robots, lawn moving robots, and personal

assistants.
