What are the 3 robot operations? Sense, plan, act
A robot's Senses has to take in information about its environment.
A robot's plan has to use that information to make a decision.
A robot's acts needs moving parts to carry out commands
What are the components of a robot? A movable physical structure. • A sensor system (Sensors). • A computer “Brain” (Controller). • A motor of some sort (Actuators). • A power source
What are actuators? Actuators are the muscles of the robot. ƒ Is the component which can make a system or component in a system moves or operate. Usually by converting electrical energy into mechanical force or torque.
What are common types of actuators? DC motors, servomotors, stepper motors, hydraulic/pneumatic actuators.
What are sensors? Sensors are used to collect information. ƒ Is a device which measure
Sensors that are equipped on robots external sensory devices such as a vision system, distance sensors, touch sensors, etc.
Types of sensors Force, temperature, pressure, humidity, distance, accelerometers, arduino, & LEGO sensors
What us the controller? The controller is the brain of the robot. A device (mechanical or electrical) which monitor and physically change the operating conditions of a dynamic system.
