What is a Robot?

A machine programmable to perform tasks, move, talk, and work independently using AI; designed to replace human effort.

Why do we need robots?

Robots handle dangerous jobs, work tirelessly, perform repetitive tasks efficiently, and explore unknown environments.

What is the IPO Model?

The IPO model describes how computers work: Input (data entry), Processing (data transformation), and Output (displaying results).

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators perform mathematical operations such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/).

Study Notes

  • A robot is a programmable machine that performs tasks
  • They can move, talk, and operate independently or via remote control
  • Robots use artificial intelligence (AI) to make decisions
  • Robots are designed to replace human effort in various tasks

Reasons for Needing Robots

  • Robots can perform dangerous jobs
  • Examples of dangerous jobs include factory work, volcano exploration, and assisting in surgeries
  • Robots can work tirelessly 24/7
  • They can efficiently handle repetitive and boring tasks
  • Robots can explore unknown places, such as deep oceans and Mars

The IPO Model (Input, Processing, Output)

  • Input involves feeding data into a computer
  • Examples of input devices: keyboard, mouse, touch screen
  • Processing involves transforming data, like calculations, comparisons, and logic
  • Output involves displaying or storing results
  • Examples of output devices: screen, printer

Operators in Programming

  • Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) perform mathematical operations
  • Relational operators (>,
