INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS:
Although robotics is a vast field, broadly, robots are of three types -
These robots are remotely controlled by human.They do not require any sensor or processing unit as the human performs these functions and accordingly steers the robot.
AUTONOMOUS
These robots do not need any operator.They have sensors and processors in addition to actuators(motors). They sense the state around the robot, process the information and act accordingly. This category is, undoubtedly, the most fascinating category of robots as autonomous robots resemble living organisms and watching them move and doing things on their own, is a pleasure for hobbyist and robotic enthusiasts.
SEMI-AUTONOMOUS
These are a hybrid of autonomous and operator-controlled robots.They may are may not need sensors. Usually, they have a processor, which works in sync with the operator and instructs the actuators accordingly. The process of making a robot requires a process-driven approach.
