The microcontroller is considered the 'brain' of the robot as it processes inputs from sensors and controls outputs to actuators, enabling the robot to perform tasks.
Sensors are essential components that allow a robot to collect data from the environment, enabling it to perceive changes and respond accordingly.
Actuators are devices that allow a robot to move by transforming electrical energy into mechanical movement.
A servo motor is commonly used for precise control of rotational or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in robotics.
A battery is used in robots to store and provide electrical energy needed for their functioning.
The chassis of a robot acts to support and house components, providing structure and stability for the entire system.
Gyroscopes are used in mobile robots to maintain balance and orientation, providing data about their position relative to the ground.
The control system's primary role is to manage the robot's actions by processing inputs and making decisions to enact outputs that direct the robot's behavior.
An RF module (Radio Frequency module) enables wireless communication, allowing robots to transmit and receive data over distances without physical connections.
Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a method of measuring distances by illuminating the target with laser light and measuring the reflection with a sensor.
