What role does a sensor play in a robot?

• A sensor creates visual images for the robot.

• A sensor stores data for future use.

• A sensor powers the robot's movements.

• A sensor detects environmental conditions and provides data for the robot to respond appropriately.

What is the purpose of a robot's control system?

• The purpose of a robot's control system is to manage its operations and interactions with the environment.

• To design the robot's physical appearance.

• To store data for the robot's memory.

• To provide power to the robot's motors.

How do robots typically receive information about their environment?
