| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| It can be a frame or body. It is the physical structure that holds all components together. Often made of materials like metal, plastic, or composite materials. | Structure |
| It determines the robot shape, size and range of motion. | Structure |
| Can be humanoid, wheels, tracked, or custom designed. | Structure |
| Central Processing Unit. It runs software and make decisions based on sensor input. It controls the actuators and processes data. | Controller (Brain) |
| These are motors or mechanisms that move the robot. It controls the robot’s joints, wheels, arms, or other moving parts. | Actuators |
| It uses electric current and magnets to facilitate movements, provide more control, have fewer environmental hazards and make little to no noise and easy to program. | Electric Motors |
| It uses oil to facilitate movement. | Hydraulic |
| It typically appears on heavy machinery since it produce a lot of force and are relatively easy to maintain. | Hydraulic |
| It uses air to facilitate movement. | Pneumatic |
| It is a popular choice for manufacturing and other stable indoor settings. | Pneumatic |
| It provides data about the robot’s environment or its own state. | Sensors |
| It helps the robot to see, hear, touch or detect motion. | Sensors |
| Robots typically incorporate a wide range of sensor types to help them perform their work. | Sensors |
| Examples of Sensors | Light Sensors, Sound Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Contact Sensors, Distance Sensors, Pressure Sensors |
| It provides the energy needed to operate. | Power Supply |
| It must matched the robot’s voltage and current requirements. | Power Supply |
| It can be batteries, wired power sources or solar power. | Power Supply |
| It is a tool or device at the end of robotic arm that interacts with the environment. | End Effector |
| It is the “hand” of the robot used to perform specific tasks such as gripping and welding. | End Effector |
| It uses fingers or jaws to grab objects. | Mechanical Grippers |
| It uses suction to pick up flat or smooth items. | Vacuum Grippers |
| It is used for lifting metallic parts. | Magnetic Grippers |
| It is design for specific applications (e.g. surgical tools, 3D printing nozzles) | Custom End Effectors |
| It provides essential instructions and logic that transforms a stationary mechanical frame into functional and automated machine capable of precise real-world tasks. | Program |
