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.

To a Volunteer, give the set of commands and ask her/him to act accordingly as a robot and as a human.

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.
