      - Operation
      - Application
- - - - Sensors: Gather information from the environment.
      - Controller (Brain): Processes sensory data and makes decisions.
      - Effectors (Actuators): Execute actions in the physical world.
      - Feedback Loop: Sensors provide information to adjust actions based on the environment.
- - - - Inspired by biological systems, often with simple control mechanisms.
      - Examples: Snake robots, hexbugs, nanobots.
    - - Simple robots exhibiting complex behavior based on sensor-motor connections.
    - - Autonomous: Operate independently (Mars rovers).
      - Commanded: Follow instructions (industrial robots).
      - Remote Control: Directly controlled by humans.
- - - - Touch (Tactile):
        
        Pressure, force, texture.
      - Vision (Computer Vision):
        
        Cameras, sonar, laser, RFID.
        
        Applications: Object recognition, motion tracking, scene reconstruction.
      - Hearing:
        
        Microphones, acoustic analysis.
      - Movement (Kinaesthetic):
        
        Proprioception (sensing own movement).
      - Chemical Sensors:
        
        Used by nanobots.
- - - - Degrees of Freedom (DOF):
        
        The number of independent movements a robot can make.
        
        Example: Human arm (7 DOF), industrial robot arm (6 DOF).
    - - Inverse Kinematics: Calculate joint angles to reach a target position.
    - - Wheeled, tracked, legged (walking, hopping), flying, swimming, snake-like, etc.
