Robots are intelligent machines,they don't have to look like human,robots was coined from a chzeck language "robota" meaning to enslave,robots have types and classifications but they all perform a specific function autonomously.we we will learn about basic parts of robot all enthusiastics, hobbyist and roboticist should know about.
A robot should contain all this parts listed below:
The manipulator:we humans have arms right,but what do robots have?you say arm? Yes you are right! but we call it manipulator in robotics, robots arms are called manipulator because they are are used to manipulate things.A human arm has 3 joints so your robot can have same to depending on your taste,human arms also has 6 degree of movement meaning that human hand rotates or twist in only 6 directions.

Power Supply: these are power sources for your bot,bots can be powered with batteries,main socket that is for those used in automobile industry,organic materials, solar cells etc.
Sensors: these are used by bots for connecting to the real world,they are used for sensing the environment, avoiding obstacles,ballancing on rough terrians, sensing images and a millions application for your bot.
Actuators:these are components that converts signals from sensors into movements,they can be motors for driving the joints of a bot.
