";s:4:"text";s:1693:" The type of materials that make up the different components will vary depending on the type of robot. First, it’s important to understand what level of robot you want to create. If you wanted to see how advanced the technology has … As I understand it, you are more interested in creating autonomous machines. Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to their aesthetics. A typical robot has a movable physical structure, a motor of some sort, a sensor system, a power supply and a computer "brain" that controls all of these elements. Robots are made of three main components: the controller, mechanical parts and sensors. A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer— capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. These components can be metal or plastic, but usually robots are made of metal. or just amazing intelligent devices you can call 'robots'. Essentially, robots are man-made versions of animal life -- they are machines that replicate human and animal behavior. In a robot, the controller is also known as the "brain" of the machine. So far we have machines performing incredible tasks (for an inanimate object anyway) or amazing us with their human-like traits.
