• Locomotion
Structure
• The structure of a robot is usually mostly
mechanical and can be called a kinematic
chain.
• The chain is formed of links (its bones),
actuators (its muscles), and joints which
can allow one or more degrees of freedom.
Power Supply
• Suitable power supply is needed to run the
motors and associated circuitry.
• Typical power requirement ranges from 3V to
24V DC
• 220V AC supply must be modified to suit the
needs of our machine
• Batteries can also be used to run robots
ACTUATION
• Actuators are the "muscles"
of a robot, the parts which
convert stored energy into
movement.
• The most popular actuators
are electric motors.
MOTORS
• Robots are driven by different motors :-
o DC Motors
o Stepper Motors
o Servo Motors
