5 main components of a robot

This post describes 5 main components of a robot. Every single object can be explained in terms of the energy source, control unit and the tool to carry out certain functions, that are connected to each other.

The system can contain any number of elements, so energy sources can be similar or different, in order to perform certain functions. Another important term here is manipulator. Manipulator is a mechanism, consisting of a series of segments, jointed relatively to one another, and used for collecting and moving objects in certain dimensions. Manipulator can be remotely controlled by human or computer.

In terms of manipulators, system can be divided into groups:

single manipulators, performing simultaneous operations;

simple manipulators;

groups of manipulators;

specialised manipulators.
