                  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.
                                                                                                                                                They can be used for finding objects underwater and exploring other planets.
                  field is called a roboticist.

                  A robot  has three major  parts:  Controller,               Controller
                  Sensor and Mechanical parts (actuators). Let                                           Sensor                                      LIMITATIONS OF ROBOTS
                  us learn about them in detail.
                                                                                                                                            Robots cannot make decisions on their own. They are programmed by humans.

                  Controller: A robot  cannot  think  like  human                                                                           Following are some limitations of robots:
                  beings.  The  controller, a built-in  computer                                                                                They cannot think like humans.
                  program, is like a brain; it controls the functions                                                                           They are not creative.

                  Sensor: Our sensory organs collect information                                                                                from mistakes.

                  devices or sensors that tell them about their surroundings. These sensors act like
                  the robot’s eyes, nose, ears, skin, etc., and are fitted by experts who design and                                                        Name of the first robot

                  Mechanical  parts: Robots  can be  given  the  shape  of human  beings  or can be
                  designed  to suit  the task  they’re  required to  perform. Mechanical  parts include                                           Tick ( ) if you know this.

                  motors, wheels and other parts that make it turn, lift and move in various ways to                                             ▶    Robots work at the same speed from beginning to end without taking any breaks.
                  complete its tasks.  These are also called actuators.                                                                           ▶    Robots are designed to perform any task either automatically or by a remote control.

                           CHARACTERISTICS OF ROBOTS

                  Robots  can  work in harsh  environments without  air or water, like in space,                                                                             The Yellow House in Jaipur is the first cafe to be served

                  underwater and in volcanoes. Following are the characteristics of robots:                                                                                  by a robot named Ruby.

                     Consistency: They can work tirelessly.
