Knowledge
Robots are composed of mechanical, electrical, and computational systems that work together to perform tasks. The primary components include the mechanical structure, actuators, sensors, a controller, and a power supply, all of which enable robots to perceive, process, and respond to their environments. Optional components can enhance the capabilities of robots through improved communication and interaction.

Key Concepts
-
Term: Mechanical Structure
Definition: The physical parts of a robot, including its frame and components like arms, wheels, and joints.
-
Term: Actuators
Definition: Devices that convert energy into motion, enabling movement in robot limbs and parts.
-
Term: Sensors
Definition: Components that allow robots to perceive their environment, such as proximity sensors and gyroscopes.
-
Term: Controller
Definition: The brain of the robot that processes data from sensors and commands the actuators.
-
Term: Power Supply
Definition: The source of energy for all robot components, which can include batteries or solar cells.
-
Term: End Effectors
Definition: Devices at the end of robotic arms designed for specific tasks like gripping or welding.
-
Term: Communication Modules
Definition: Components that enable remote control or IoT integration through connections like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
