- Feedback
How Robotics Works:
- Robots are equipped with sensors such as cameras, light sensors, touch sensors, and sonar sensors, providing data about the environment.
Sensors
How Robotics Work:
- The robot’s controller or onboard computer processes sensor data using algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Processing
How Robotics Work:
- Based on processed data, the robot’s actuators and motors perform the required tasks. Movement can involve wheels, legs, or other specialized mechanisms.
Actuators and Movement
How Robotics Work:
- Robots often work in a continuous feedback loop of sensing, computing, and acting, adjusting their actions based on real-time data.
