WHAT IS ROBOT?
A robot is a machine that can be programmed to carry out a series of actions automatically.
A robot, such as automated door, has three main components:
i. Controller - Used to process data from sensors and sends the information/ instruction to actuator. For example, BBC micro:bit.
ii. Sensor - Receive/ collect input data from surrounding environment. For example, ultrasonic sensor.
iii. Actuator - A component of a machine that enables it to move. For example, DC motors and servo motors.
