Sensors in robotics collect data about the environment and provide feedback to the system, enabling it to react appropriately.
Actuators are devices that convert energy into physical movement, essential for driving the robot's motion.
Mechatronics integrates mechanical, electronic, and software components to create intelligent systems.
Degrees of freedom refer to the independent movements a robot arm, or overall system, can make.
An accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration forces to determine movement and orientation.
Microcontrollers act as the 'brain' of mechatronic systems, controlling operations and managing data inputs/outputs.
Path planning refers to the process of creating an optimal route that a robot must follow from point A to point B.
Electrical engineering is crucial in mechatronics, as it deals with power systems, electronics, and control systems.
A feedback loop continuously monitors output against the desired setpoint to adjust and maintain system performance.
MATLAB is widely used for mathematical modeling, algorithm development, and simulation of robotic systems.
