Welcome to the basics of robotics! Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your knowledge, this tutorial will cover the fundamentals of robotics. Let's dive in!

What is Robotics?

Robotics is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, and operation of robots. Robots are machines that can perform tasks automatically or semi-automatically, often replacing or augmenting human labor.

Key Components of a Robot

  1. Mechanical Structure: The physical form of the robot, which includes its body, arms, and any other moving parts.
  2. Electrical System: The electrical components, such as motors, sensors, and control circuits, that enable the robot to function.
  3. Control System: The software that tells the robot what to do and how to do it.
  4. Sensors: Devices that allow the robot to perceive its environment, such as cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and infrared sensors.

Types of Robots

There are many different types of robots, each designed for specific tasks. Here are a few common types:

  • Industrial Robots: Used in manufacturing to perform repetitive tasks, such as welding, painting, and assembly.
  • Service Robots: Designed to assist humans in everyday tasks, such as cleaning, healthcare, and companionship.
  • Exploration Robots: Used to explore environments that are too dangerous or inaccessible for humans, such as space or underwater.
