ROBOTICS AND CODING NOTES

Robotics involves the design, construction, and application of robots, focusing on their hardware, mechanics, electronics, and capabilities. Coding serves as the instructions that control the robot's actions, acting as its 'brain.' Together, robotics and coding are essential for creating functional robots, with robotics providing the physical structure and coding delivering the operational logic.

ROBOTICS AND CODING

Robotics refers to the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. It's the field that deals
with the physical creation and functionality of these automated machines.

Robotics encompasses in this pairing:

The Physical Robot: Robotics is about the tangible machine itself. This includes:

1. Hardware: The physical components like motors, sensors (like cameras, touch sensors, distance
sensors), actuators, power sources, and the structural body of the robot.

2.Mechanics: How the robot moves and interacts with its environment. This involves understanding
gears, levers, joints, and the principles of motion.

3. Electronics: The circuitry that connects the components and allows them to communicate and
function.

4.The Design and Construction Process: Robotics involves the engineering principles used to design
and build robots for specific tasks. This includes aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, and sometimes even materials science.

5. The Application of Robots: Robotics also considers *what* the robot is designed to do and *where*
it will be used. This could be anything from industrial automation and medical procedures to exploration
and entertainment.

6. Understanding the Robot's Capabilities: It's about knowing what the robot *can* do based on its
physical design and components. This includes understanding its degrees of freedom, its lifting capacity,
its sensing capabilities, and its ability to navigate.

-Coding on the other hand, is the language and instructions that tell the robot what to do. It's the
"brain" of the robot.

In the "robotics and coding" pairing, you can think of it this way:

Robotics provides the body (the hardware and mechanics).


Coding provides the mind (the instructions and logic).

You need both to have a functional robot. You can have a beautifully designed robot (robotics), but
without code, it's just an inert object. Similarly, you can write brilliant code (coding), but without a robot
to run it on, it's just a set of instructions.

In conclusion in "robotics and coding," robotics is the physical manifestation of the robot and the
engineering principles behind its creation and function, while coding is the programming that brings the
robot to life and dictates its behavior.
