            The branch of science and technology behind the design, construction, operation,

            application and manufacturing of robots is called robotics. A person working in this                                          Safety: They are used in places and areas considered dangerous for humans.

            PARTS OF A ROBOT                                                                                                             make errors. They are designed to give accurate results.

            A robot  has three major  parts:  Controller,               Controller
            Sensor and Mechanical parts (actuators). Let                                           Sensor                                      LIMITATIONS OF ROBOTS

            devices or sensors that tell them about their surroundings. These sensors act like                                                        Name of the first ever robot
