Understanding the anatomy of a robot
A robot is a machine that is capable of carrying out complex actions and behaviors by itself. Most robots are controlled by a computer or digital programmable device. Some key characteristics of robots are as follows:
- Automation: Robots can operate automatically without direct human input, based on their programming. This allows them to do repetitive or dangerous tasks consistently.
- Sensors: Robots use sensors such as cameras, optics, lidar, and pressure sensors to gather information about their environment so they can navigate and interact. This sensory information is processed to determine what actions the robot should take.
- Programming: A robot’s brain consists of an onboard computer or device that runs code and algorithms that define how it will behave. Robots are programmed by humans to perform desired behaviors.
- Movement: Most robots are able to move around to some degree through wheels, legs, propellers, or other...
