12. How robots work? Input (sensors) Book Activity P-17
Sensors are used to tell a robot about its surroundings.
Light sensor / detects light
Sound sensor / detects sound
Ultrasonic sensor / detects distance
Touch sensor / touch and operate
Temperature sensor / detects temperature
Humidity / detects moisture surroundings
Sensors: Parts tells the robot about its surroundings.
Book Activity P-17

13. How robots work?
Control System
(brain)
Control System: device that manages / controls the behavior of other systems.
It acts as the ‘brain’ in any robotic system.
It does all the processing for the robot. Processes are actions based on the input

14. How robots work? Output (actuator)
An actuator is the part of the robot that performs a physical action.
Output is the result you get based on your input and processing.

15. Edison Robot Activity 4 – Page 20
Look at Edison. What can you see ? What parts can you identify ?

16. Edison Robot

17. Microcontroller
The microcontroller: is the main control unit of any automatic system or device.
These systems and devices have an input unit for collecting signals or sensing the signals from an environment
A control unit for processing the received signals
An output unit for sending out signals or controlling an output device.

18. Programming Software
Program : set of commands / instructions to solve a problem
Edison Robot can be programmed using :
- visual programming
- text-based interface

19. Programming Software
Visual programming using EDWARE
Visual programming depends on graphical blocks that can be dragged and dropped
