There are many types of robots. They used in many different environments, and for many different uses, despite being very diverse in application and they all three share basic similarities when it comes to:

Robots have various kind of mechanical construction, a structure, a shape or form which is typically the solution/result for a specific task or problem. For example, if you want the robot to travel across dirt or heavy clay, you may consider using the processed track, in the form of your robot with box may be processed track. In the process it is being built for mechanical travel across the problem of heavy mud or dirt. This mechanical side usually deals with …show more content…

Many different types of batteries can be used as a power source for robots. They range from lead acid batteries that are safe and have a relatively long shelf life but somewhat heavy for cadmium batteries silver which is much smaller in size and is much more expensive. Design of Android-powered battery you need to take into account factors such as safety, life cycle and weight. Generators, often a type of internal combustion engine, and can also be used. However, such designs are often complex and need fuel mechanically, requiring heat dissipation and relatively heavy. The rope connecting Android to power supply remove the power supply from the robot completely. This has the advantage of saving weight and space by moving all power components and stored elsewhere. . However, this design does not come with the drawback of having a continuous cable robot, which can be difficult to manage possible power sources could be:

• Pneumatic (compressed gases)
• Solar power (using the Sun's energy and convert it to electrical energy)
• Hydraulic (fluid)
• Flywheel energy storage
• Organic garbage (through anaerobic …show more content…

And often prefer these motors in systems with lighter loads, as the dominant form of motion is rotation.

Linear motors
Different types of linear actuators move in and out instead of spinning, often faster than changes in direction, especially when there is a need for very large forces such as is the case with industrial robots. Usually powered by compressed air (pneumatic engine) or oil (hydraulic motor).

Series floppy drives
Spring can be designed as part of the engine the engine, to allow better control of the force. It has been used in various robots, especially walking robots robot.

Air muscles
Artificial muscles, pneumatic, also known as air muscles are special tubes that contract (typically up to 40%) when the air inside. Some have used Android applications.

Muscle wire
Muscle wire, also known as shape memory alloy, Nitinol or Flexinol wire which contracted slightly (usually less than 5%) when you run electricity through it. Some have used small robot applications.
