| 1 | A robot is a machine that can carry out tasks automatically or with some guidance. |
| 2 | A sensor helps a robot detect things like light, sound, touch, or distance. |
| 3 | A bird, insect, fish, or dog could inspire robot designs. |
| 4 | Engineers study animals to learn how to make robots move, sense, or act more effectively. |
| 5 | Biomimicry is designing machines or tools by copying ideas from nature. |
| 6 | A cheetah or a lizard can inspire fast land-moving robots. |
| 7 | The controller or computer brain helps it process information and make decisions. |
| 8 | A robot can use a camera to see and understand its surroundings. |
| 9 | A gecko climbing walls can inspire that kind of robot. |
| 10 | Wheels can be simpler and faster for moving on flat surfaces. |
| 11 | An actuator makes the robot move or perform a physical action. |
| 12 | A fish can inspire the shape and movement of an underwater robot. |
| 13 | A robotic gripper helps a robot pick up and hold objects. |

| 21 | Good balance helps the robot move safely and avoid falling. |
| 22 | A beetle could inspire a small robot with a strong shell for protection. |
| 23 | Studying ants can help engineers design robots that work together and navigate efficiently. |
| 24 | They may need to consider movement, sound, safety, size, and interaction with people. |
| 25 | One advantage is that animals provide useful movement ideas; one challenge is that copying complex animal behavior can be difficult. |
