Robotics



Robots are used for all sorts of things. They can be built and programmed different ways to accomplish different tasks. Not all robots are built out of metal and gears. Legos can be used to create robots too.




 There are two main components to a robot. The first is the actual structure. The structure of a robot has to be built specific to the task of the robot. If you want a robot to walk upright, then the balance must be equal so it doesn’t fall over.

 The second component is the program. A robot needs to be told what to do. A program can be made specific to the structure and task. For example, you could write a program that tells the robot to wait until it sees a certain color to move a certain way. There are many possibilities for a program.
