A robot is a programmable mechanical device than can perform tasks and interact with its environment
Basic Components of a Robot
Body •Can be any size or shape•Human shaped robots have been seen in movies•Majority of them look nothing like humans
Control System
• A program that tells the robot how to act
• Electronics that process the information
•Can be simple or extraordinarily complex
•Designed to allow the machine to react to its environment through code or sensory input (touch, temperature and light sensors)
Central Processing Unit
•Directs its behavior •Can be autonomous
Behavior
Behavior is a response to different inputs.
Uses of Robots
•Precision work•Repetitive/monotonous work•Dangerous work•Exploration•Competition•Education
Robotics in Education
Robotics enables students to use their hands and minds to create like an engineer, artist, and technician does, all at once.
