Robot Parts and Their Functions

Robots are complex machines that combine mechanical, electrical, and software components to perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. In this video, we break down the key parts of a robot and their functions, including:

🔹 Power Supply – Provides energy to the robot (Battery, Solar, Wired Power)
🔹 Actuators & Motors – Convert electrical energy into mechanical motion (Servo, Stepper, DC, AC Motors)
🔹 Sensors – Detect environmental changes and provide data for decision-making (Proximity, Vision, Force, Temperature, Ultrasonic Sensors)
🔹 Microcontroller/Processor – The "brain" that processes inputs and controls outputs (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, FPGA, SoC)
🔹 End Effectors – Tools that interact with objects (Grippers, Welding Torches, Suction Cups)
🔹 Chassis & Frame – The structural body that holds all components together
🔹 Communication Systems – Allow data transfer between robot components or with external systems (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IoT, CAN Bus)
🔹 Control System – Regulates motion and actions (PID Controllers, AI-Based Systems)

💡 Robots play a crucial role in manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, military, and service industries. Learn how each component contributes to a robot’s functionality!
