Robots are created in our own image, so they are simple to understand by nature.
Every robot, just like human, has a brain to control all operations. This is often a Raspberry Pi computer.
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized, affordable, and highly versatile computer. It's the perfect choice for various robotic projects. The Raspberry Pi comes with Wi-Fi functionality, enabling you to remotely control your robot using the ComfySpace app. It also features I/O pins (input/output) to control sensors, motors and more.
Robots can sometimes perform an action: a car moving, a light turns on, or a speaker producing sounds.
To drive these actions, your robot might require one or more (or none at all) of these components, depending on the desired function.
When used (single or multiple), these "limbs" can create amazing results.
Some robots can also "sense" their surroundings, taking information from the surroundings (temperature, humidity, air quality, video, etc.)
There are many sensors available, measuring anything you can think of.
To connect all of the useful components above together, jumper cables are required.
These cables are used to physically connect components together.
To power all of the components above, a power source is required.
The simplest power source is a power supply. If you have a stationary robotic project, this is a perfect option.
If your robots require portability, perhaps consider a portable battery!.
Hello, folks! This is Thomas the Maker, your friendly assistant. I hope this guide has been helpful to you. Robotics can seem like a complex field, but I aim to simplify that. I believe this beginner-friendly guide has given you a clearer understanding of the basic anatomy of a robot, helping you visualize your ideas better.
