Robotics Glossary: Essential Terms and Concepts
FutureLearn Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
This reference introduces robotics as a field that combines mechanics, electronics, and artificial intelligence. It explains that robotics is used in areas like autonomous vehicles and collaborative robots, and then begins defining core terms such as acceleration, accelerometers, accuracy, sensors, actuators, algorithms, androids, and artificial intelligence.
INSIGHTS
If you are learning coding or AI, this glossary helps you build the vocabulary needed to understand how robots sense, decide, and move. A good next step is to review terms like sensor, actuator, and algorithm and connect each one to a simple robot example.
