Building a robot might sound complex, but it all starts with understanding its core parts. Every robot — whether it’s a simple line follower or a humanoid machine — is made up of essential components that bring it to life. These include sensors, controllers, actuators, motors, and power systems. Together, they help robots think, move, and interact with their environment.
At BDS Education, we believe every student can become a creator, not just a user of technology. Through our hands-on Coding and Robotics Labs, we introduce learners to real-world tools and components — from Arduino boards and sensors to motors, batteries, and robot chassis — helping them understand how each part plays a vital role in a robot’s function.
This article will guide beginners through the most important robot parts, explaining their functions in simple terms, along with examples and practical insights from BDS Education’s classroom experiences. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or hobbyist, this guide will help you take your first step toward building your own robot and exploring the exciting world of STEM innovation.
