Robotics Engineer word list, defined
- ROBOTICS /roʊˈbɑːtɪks/ · noun
- The branch of engineering and computer science concerned with designing, building, controlling, and coordinating robots and robotic systems. It also refers collectively to robots or automated machines used in a particular setting. Related: automation, robotic engineering, machine control.
- SENSOR /ˈsensər/ · noun
- A device or component that detects a physical, chemical, biological, or environmental condition and converts it into a signal or other usable data. In biology, the term can also refer to a sensory organ or receptor. Related: detector, transducer, probe, gauge.
- ACTUATOR /ˈæktʃueɪtər/ · noun
- A mechanical or electronic device that converts an input signal, usually electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy, into physical motion or action. Actuators are the components that make machines move, open valves, adjust controls, and perform work. Related: motor, drive, servo, mechanism.
- MOTOR /ˈmoʊtər/ · noun
- A machine or engine that converts electrical, chemical, or other energy into mechanical motion. By extension, “motor” can informally mean a motor vehicle. Related: engine, machine, actuator.
- WELDER /ˈwɛldər/ · noun
- A welder is a person who joins metal or other materials by welding. The term can also refer to a machine or tool used to perform welding. Related: welding technician, welding operator, welding specialist, metalworker.
- SOLDERING /ˈsɒldərɪŋ/ · noun and verb
- The process of joining two pieces of metal by heating a fusible alloy, called solder, and allowing it to flow between the surfaces. As a verb, it means to join metal pieces in this way. Related: soldering, brazing, bonding.
- MICROCONTROLLER /ˈmaɪkroʊkənˌtroʊlər/ · noun
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that includes a processor, memory, and various input and output components. It is designed primarily to control a specific device or system rather than perform general-purpose computing. Related: microcontroller chip, embedded controller, single-chip controller.
- PROGRAMMING /ˈprəʊɡræmɪŋ/ (British); /ˈproʊɡræmɪŋ/ (US) · noun
- The activity of designing, writing, testing, and maintaining computer instructions or code. It can also refer more broadly to the process of giving a system a planned sequence of actions or settings. Related: coding, software development, computer programming, development.
- ALGORITHM /ˈælɡəˌrɪðəm/ · noun
- A finite sequence of well-defined instructions or rules for solving a problem or performing a computation, typically expressed in a form that can be carried out mechanically or by a computer. Related: procedure, method, process, routine.
- CIRCUIT /ˈsɜːkɪt/ (British), /ˈsɜːrkət/ (US) · noun, verb
- A closed path that an electric current flows around, or a complete route or circuitous journey that begins and ends at the same point. As a verb, to circuit is to travel around or make a circuit of something. Related: loop, route, round, path.
- BREADBOARD /ˈbrɛdbɔːrd/ · noun
- A board on which dough is kneaded and bread is sliced, or a flat panel used for building temporary electronic circuits without soldering. Related: prototyping board, solderless board, kneading board, testboard.
- MULTIMETER /ˈmʌltiˌmiːtər/ · noun
- A multimeter is an electronic instrument used to measure several electrical properties, typically voltage, current, and resistance. Digital models are widely used for testing and troubleshooting electrical circuits and equipment. Related: multitester, universal meter, electrical tester, test meter.
