Robots are multi-functional,
re-programmable, automated industrial machines designed to transform humans
into dangerous tasks.

The Components of a Robots
Power supply
The robot is powered by battery,
hydraulic, solar or pneumatic energy sources.
Actuators
Actuators are energy conversion
devices used inside robots. The main function of actuators is to convert energy
into movement.
Electric Motors (DC / AC)
Motors are used to convert
electrical energy into its equivalent mechanical energy. Motors are rotated in
robots.
Sensors
Sensors provide real-time
information about the task environment. Robots are equipped with touch sensors
that mimic the mechanical properties of human fingerprint touch receptors and
use a vision sensor to measure the depth of the atmosphere.
Controller
A controller is a part of a robot
that combines all the movements of a mechanical system. It also receives input
from the immediate environment through various sensors. The heart of the
robot's controller is a microprocessor connected to an input / output and
monitoring device. The command issued by the controller activates the motion
control system, which consists of various controllers, actuators and
amplifiers.
Types of Robots
Autonomous Robots
Autonomous robots are
self-supporting. They use programs that give them the opportunity to make
decisions based on the circumstances around them.
Using artificial intelligence,
these robots often learn new behaviors. They start with a small routine and
adapt it to be more successful in what they are doing. Therefore, the most
successful routine will be repeated.
Industrial Robots
Industrial robots perform such
tasks frequently without moving. These robots are operating in industries that
require robots to function properly and slowly.
An industrial robot never gets
tired, it will do its work day and night without ever complaining.
Mobile Robots
Mobile robots are able to move
from one place to another using localmotion. It is an automatic machine capable
of navigating an arbitrary environment without the need for any physical and
electromechanical guidance equipment. There are two types of mobile robots:
(A) Rolling Robots
Rolling
robots need wheels to rotate. They can be found easily and quickly. But they
are only useful in flat areas.
(B) Walking robots
Robots with
legs in rough terrain are commonly used. Most running robots have at least 4
legs.
Remote Controlled Robots
A remote control robot used for
complex and undisputed tasks that autonomous robots cannot perform due to the
uncertainty of operation.
Complex tasks are best performed
by man with real brain power. So one can guide the robot using the remote.
Remote control operations can be used to perform hazardous tasks without having
to stay where human tasks are performed.
