How do robots work?

In order for a robot to be built, there must be five specific human features. They are as followed:

1. body structure

2. muscle system

3. sensory system (analyzes environment to understand what's surrounding it)

4. power source

5. brain system

The power system powers the body structure enabling it to move. Then, the sensory system evaluates the surroundings and sends the message to the brain system. Using this information, the brain system sends an order to the muscle system, telling it what to do. The brain system is usually made up from a human inputting patterns into a computer connected to the robot.
