Robotics Worksheet: What Is a Robot?
Robot tip (Sense, think, act): A robot senses (sensors), thinks (a controller runs a program) and acts (motors and other parts). If a machine only moves when a person pushes or controls it, and cannot sense or decide, it is not a robot. The shape does not matter: arms, cars, boxes and drones can all be robots.
