Robotics is the study and application of robot technology. A robot is a mechanical device that performs tasks automatically or through remote control. There are three main types of robots: industrial robots, mobile robots, and educational robots. The main components of a robot are its manipulator, end effector, actuators, sensors, controller, processor, and software. Learning robotics in education improves students' creativity and engagement, prepares them for technological changes, builds programming and teamwork skills, and develops perseverance, while also being fun.

2. ROBOTICS Terminology
 Robot – Mechanical device that
performs human tasks, either
automatically or by remote control.
 Robotics – Study and application of
robot technology on different areas
of the human life

3. Definition of Robot
 A reprogrammable multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material,
parts, tools or specialized devices through
various programmed motions for the
performance of a variety of tasks. -
Robot Institute of America

4. Main Components of a Robot
 Manipulator – main body of a robot
 End Effecter – the part that is connected
to the last joint hand of a manipulator
 Actuators – muscles of the manipulators
(eg. Servomotor, DC motor)
 Sensors – collects information about the
internal state of the robot or to
communicate with the outside
environment

5. Main Components of a Robot
 Controller – controls and coordinates the
motion of the actuators
 Processor – the brain of the robot. It
calculates the motions and the velocity of
the robot’s joints, etc.
 Software – operating system, robotic
software and the collection of routines

6. Types of Robots
 Industrial robots
 Mobile Robots
 Educational Robots

7. Robotics in Education
Learning robotics in school develop the skills and
knowledge of students in robotics. Robotics help
students with the following:
1. Improvement in creativity
 students will explore activities that build self-
knowledge and creativity. Students can choose their
learning method based on the different skills and tasks.
With the use of different parts and accessories,
students can use their imagination by building a real
robot.

2. Engagement
 Hands-on learning activities enhance
concentration and attention levels,
because the more students learn physical
skills, the more they want to continue
being in the lesson.

3. Preparedness
 With advanced technologies such as
artificial intelligence, driverless cars, and
spacecrafts taking shape every day, the
present generation of students needs to
be more prepared for technological
changes than any before.

4. Programming skills
 As artificial intelligence becomes more
prevalent in homes, schools, and offices,
a little programming knowledge will help
everyone understand how these bots
work.

5. Perseverance
 Creating and programming bots is
challenging. However, working through
frustration helps students develop a
never-give-up attitude. It imparts
determination, which is crucial for any
technological or scientific undertaking.

6. Teamwork
 Robotics incorporates a range of skills,
and thus promotes a learning environment
for people with different talents. If
properly harnessed, it also promotes a
culture of teamwork. It can even be used
to help students who might struggle to
learn in traditional classroom setting.

7. Fun
 Learning about robotics is fun – and as
User Experience designers continue to
improve how it feels to interact with
robots, it will only become more so!
