Robots are made of many parts that work together as
one. First is the controller, by it the robot can move and
store data to perform a certain task. Mainly it's
constructed with a computer for storage and execution
to operate, and a control system for process activities.
Secondly, is the body, it has many shapes depending
on their usage; such as, shape of an arm, spherical
shape and platform ,and balloons shapes. Third
category is mobility, and it differ depending on the task
environment; some can swim by propellers and rudders,
other by trucks or wheels, and some use engines. Next
is the power sources, it usually come from electricity,
and hydraulic power, also other robots use solar cells
and batteries. The last category is sensors,  by them
robots can take measurement from environment , these
measurements generate information for the robot, to act
and behave accordingly to the environment. N.G think
that the consistence of the robot will get more
advanced, so the robot performance will get more
accurate and flexible.
