What is a robot?
Types of machines
Types of systems
Digital and analog systems:
Digital Systems: Operate with discrete signals (0s and 1s). Common in computers and digital circuits.
Example: A computer processor.
Analog Systems: Operate with continuous signals. Common in audio devices or sensors.
Example: A microphone.
Components of a Robot
Power Supply: Provides energy, typically batteries or electric power.
Sensors: Detect environmental changes (e.g., light, sound, heat).
Actuators: Convert energy into motion (e.g., motors, hydraulic pumps).
Controller: The brain of the robot, processes inputs and controls outputs.
End Effectors: Tools or devices attached to robotic arms, like grippers or welders.
Mechanical Structure: The physical framework, often including wheels, arms, or tracks.
A robot is a machine designed to perform tasks automatically, often controlled by a computer or an electronic system.
Simple Machines and Complex Machines — Examples: levers, pulleys and gears — cars, airplanes.
Open Systems: Do not use feedback for control. Example: A toaster.
Closed Systems: Use feedback to adjust their operation. Example: A thermostat.
Function of Robotic Arms
Precision Tasks: Assembly lines, surgeries.
Heavy Lifting: Moving materials in factories or warehouses.
Repetitive Actions: Screwing, welding, or painting.
