Robots!!
• Robotics (rōbätiks)branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robotics
• Robots (rōbäts)a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one that is programmable by a computerOrigin of the word is Czech, coming from robota, meaning “forced labor”
• DESIGN – what does the robot include?• CONSTRUCTION – how is the robot built?• OPERATION – how is the robot controlled?• APPLICATION – what is the robot used for?
Robots!!
• Sensor - a device that measures something about the robot’s environment
