Activity 1: Summary

You have reached the end of activity 1. Let’s have a quick recap of what you have covered:

In this activity, you ventured into the world of robotics, beginning with the fundamental question, ‘what is a robot?’ You learned that robots are programmable machines designed to carry out tasks in the physical world.

You also explored the concept of intelligent robots. These robots possess the ability to perceive and understand their surroundings, make decisions, and adapt to changing situations. You discovered that this intelligence often relies on complex software, sensors, and AI algorithms, enabling robots to learn and interact with their environment.

A key highlight of the activity was the diverse range of career opportunities in the field of robotics. From software-related roles that focus on coding and AI to hardware-related positions dedicated to the physical aspects of robots, and research-related jobs that push the state-of-the-art, there’s a path for everyone. Whether you’re passionate about programming, building physical components, or eager to pioneer new technologies, robotics offers a world of possibilities for the curious and innovative minds.

The next activity will talk about the different application areas of robotics.
