A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip.
A sensor is a device that measures physical input from its environment and converts it into data that can be interpreted by either a human or a machine. Most sensors are electronic, but some are more simple — such as a glass thermometer which presents visual data.
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.
A robot kit is a special construction kit for building robots, especially autonomous mobile robots. The kits can consist of structural elements, mechanical elements, motors (or other actuators), sensors and a controller board to control the inputs and outputs of the robot.
