Understanding Robotics and Components

It is the science that involves the study, design, creation, development, and use of machines to perform tasks controlled through a specific set of instructions.

• Robotics

• AI

• IoT

• Programming

This allows the robot to see, touch, hear, and move in its environment.

• Sensors

• Actuators

• Controller

• Power Supply

This actuator makes use of pulleys, gears, and rails to change the direction a moving object with a combination of speed and force.

• Mechanical

• Hydraulic

• Electrical

• Thermal

This serves as a system that turns energy into motion, allowing a robot to physically move and act in its environment.

• Actuators

• Sensors

• Controller

• Power Supply

This is a vital component of a robot that serves as its brain and commands it to perform a task through a computer program.

• Controller

• Sensors

• Actuators

• Power Supply

This is a Czech word that means 'forced work or labor.'

• Robota

• Robuta

• Robust

• Robost

This serves as the energy source of a robot in order to function.

• Power Supply

• Sensors

• Actuators

• Controller

Act as the brain of the microcontroller

• microprocessor

• microchip

• microprocedure

• microregulator

This is used both to supply power to your system and transmit and upload data from your computer.

• USB port

• Barrel jack

• Power supply

• Power Barrel

This another way to supply power to your board using an AC to DC adapter that has 6-20 Volts output.

• Barrel jack

• Power supply

• Power Barrel

• USB port
