Topics in Building Blocks of Robots

1

Main Components of a Robot

  • A robot is typically made up of three kinds of parts: a mechanical body, an electric skeleton, and a programmed brain.
  • The main components of a robot are control system, sensors, actuators, power supply, and end effectors.
  • The controller acts as the brain of the robot and directs its movements and behaviour.
2

Sensors and Their Types

  • Sensors enable the robot to observe its surroundings, analyse the situation, and send instructions through the controller.
  • Robots frequently contain photoresistors, video cameras, and microphones.
  • Photoresistors act as the robot’s eyes, and video cameras and microphones act as hearing.
3

Actuators and Power Supply

  • A machine can only be categorized as a robot if its body or chassis can move.
  • Actuators are the parts that cause this movement.
  • Actuators’ main job is to transform energy into motion.
4

Robot Algorithms

  • An algorithm is a series of lines of code that a robot can use to perform certain instructions.
  • Robot algorithms are a set of instructions or procedures designed to help a robot perform specific tasks or operations.
  • Robot algorithms can be broadly categorized into motion planning algorithms and control algorithms.
