Elements in a robot

A robot is an autonomous machine capable of:

  • sensing its environment,
  • carrying out operations to make decisions 
  • performing actions in the real world.

So the main elements in every robot, as we learned in programming,  will be:

  • Input: in this case we call "sensors"
  • Process: to perform operations/ make decisions with this input. This is the "microcontroller"
  • Output: in this case we call "actuators"
