Key Components of Robotic Technology


Sensors


  • Robots use a variety of sensors to perceive their environment and gather data about their surroundings, including cameras, lidar, proximity sensors, and touch sensors.



  • Controller


  • This is the robot's "brain," which takes input from sensors and uses software to process the information and send commands to the actuators.



  • Actuators


  • These are the components that produce motion, acting like a robot's muscles. They convert energy from the power supply into physical movement for parts like limbs or wheels.



  • Power Supply


  • A power source, such as a battery or a direct electrical connection, is needed to provide energy to all therobot's components.



  • Structure/Chassis


  • The physical frame provides support and protection for the robot's internal components and ensures stability.
