    cameras and temperature sensors, to collect data about their surroundings. This information is sent
                      to a microcontroller, their “brain,” which processes it using code. After analysing the data, the robot
                      takes action, like moving or picking up objects, allowing it to interact with its environment.

                      Robots

                      Robots are machines designed to perform tasks, often controlled by computers or programmed to
                      work automatically. They can move, sense their surroundings, and sometimes even think and learn.
                      Robots are used in factories, homes, space, and more to help humans. Some look like humans, while
                      others are built just for specific jobs.

                      Key Characteristics of Robots

                         Autonomy: Robots can work without human intervention after being programmed.

                         Sensors: Robots use sensors to gather information about their environment (e.g., temperature,
                         light, movement).

                         Actuators: These  are  motors  or  other  mechanisms  that  allow  robots  to  move  or  manipulate
                         objects.
                         Control Systems: The brain of the robot, processes data from sensors and sends instructions to
                         the actuators.

                      Applications of Robotics

                         Manufacturing: Robots are  used  in  factories for
                         assembly lines to build cars, electronics, etc.
                                                               Medical  Field:
                                                               Surgical  robots
                                                               assist  doctors
                                                               in performing delicate operations.

                                                               Space Exploration: Robots like the Mars rovers are sent to
                                                               explore distant planets.

                                                               Home Assistance:  Vacuuming  robots  and  personal
                                                               assistants like robotic vacuum cleaners.
                                                               Education:     Teaching    students    through    hands-on
                                                               experiments with robots.
