The Third Component

What are the Main components of a robot?

The Second Component

The effectors are the parts of the robot that actually do the work. Effectors can be any sort of tool that you can mount on your robot and control with the robot's computer. Most of the time, the effectors are specific to the tasks that you want your robot to do. For example, in addition to some of the very common effectors listed below, the Mars rovers have tools like hammers, shovels, and a mass spectrometer to use in analyzing the soil of Mars. Obviously a mail-delivering robot would not need any of those.End-Effectors are the tools at the end of robotic arms and other robotic appendages that directly interact with objects in the world. A "gripper" at the end of a robotic arm is a common end-effector. Others include spikes, lights, hammers,and screw-drivers. Medical robots have their own specialized effectors, such as tools for cutting in surgery and making incisions.

There are Three main components in a robot. The first component is the sensors, the sensors are what allow a robot to gather information about its environment. This information can be used to guide the robot's behavior. Some sensors are relatively familiar pieces of equipment. Cameras allow a robot to construct a visual representation of its environment. This allows the robot to judge attributes of the environment that can only be determined by vision, such as shape and color, as well as aid in determining other important qualities, such as the size and distance of objects.

A. Pre-Programmed Robots- The very simplest pre-programmed robot merely repeats the same operations over and over. Such a robot is either insensitive to changes in its environment or it can detect on very limited information about very limited parts of the environment. Such a robot will require little in the way of "controls" but it will perform properly only if the environment behaves in accord with the robot's pre-programmed actions.

B. Autonomous Robots- More complex robots are able to respond appropriately in environments that are much more complicated. Such a robot will have better sensors that allow it to detect changing features of the environment and a range of behaviors that will allow it to respond to those changes. Whatever features of the robot enable it to adapt its behavior to its environment, we will call the "control system."There are many different kinds of control systems used in robots.

Are there different types of robots?

There are six main types of industrial robots: Cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, delta, polar and vertically articulated. However, there are several additional types of robot configurations. Each of these types offers a different joint configuration. The joints in the arm are referred to as axes.

Where does the term robot even come from?

It was the brain work of a brilliant playwrighter, novelist and journalist named Karel Čapek (1880-1938) who introduced the term in his 1920 hit play, Rossum's Universal Robots. Robot is drawn from an old Church Slavonic word, robota, which means “servitude,”or “forced labor”.

What is a Robot?

A robot is any technical device that can preform a specific task that it is givin. Many people have a curtain misconception that all robots look like this

When in reality they look like this

What Are Robots for?/ Why do we Need Them?

Robots are mainly for self automation which means that humans are looking for a way to make life significantly easier. We need these self automated machines to make our life's easier.
