What are Robots Made of?
Robots are just like humans it's kind of freaky. They are made up of three main parts.
1. The controller/ the brain is run by a computer program. Often the program is very detailed as it gives commands to the robot to follow.
2. Mechanical parts-motors, pistons, grippers, wheels, gears that make the robot move, grab, turn and lift. These parts are usually powered by air, water or electricity. In the human body these parts are known as the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart and muscles.
3. Sensors-to tell the robot about it's surroundings. Sensors allow the robot to determine sizes, shapes, space between objects, direction and other things like that. In the human body these parts are known as the five senses-hands, ears, eyes, nose and mouth.
