Study Notes

Robotics

The field that focuses on the design and assembly of robots is known as Robotics or Robot Engineering.

Basic Parts of Robots

Robots are typically constructed from three basic parts:
- Sensors to perceive the environment
- Actuators to interact with the environment
- Controllers to process information and make decisions

Sensors in Robots

The function of a sensor in a robot is to gather information about the environment, such as temperature, sound, or light.

Controllers in Robots

The role of the controller in a robot is to process information from sensors, make decisions, and send commands to the actuators.

Types of Robotic Systems

Simple robots are distinguished from more complex robotic systems by their limited functionality and pre-programmed instructions, whereas complex systems can learn, adapt, and make decisions autonomously.

Robot Components and Functions

Match the following robot components with their functions:
- Sensors: gather information about the environment
- Actuators: interact with the environment
- Controllers: process information and make decisions

Robot Components Descriptions

Match the following descriptions with the correct robot components:
- Device that measures temperature: Sensor
- Device that moves the robot: Actuator
- Device that processes information: Controller

Robot Components Primary Functions

Match the following robot components with their primary functions:
- Sensors: perceive the environment
- Actuators: interact with the environment
- Controllers: make decisions

Robotics Terminology

Match the following terms with their definitions:
- Sensor: device that gathers information about the environment
- Actuator: device that interacts with the environment
- Controller: device that processes information and makes decisions
