Robotics and Prosthetics

Reading Worksheet — Elementary (C) | tahricteaches.com

Robots are special machines. They can move and do many tasks. Some robots are very big, and some are very small. We can see robots in factories, hospitals, and even in our homes. They help people do difficult or dangerous work safely.

An engineer is a person who designs and builds machines like robots. Engineers think carefully about how a robot should look and what it should do. They use computers and special tools. Engineers work hard to make robots that are safe and useful for people.

A prosthetic is a special body part that people make. It is not a real body part, but it works like one. For example, some people do not have an arm or a leg. A prosthetic arm or leg helps them do everyday things like writing or walking.

Modern prosthetics use sensors to feel movement. When a person moves their body, the sensor tells the prosthetic what to do. Some prosthetic arms can pick up small objects. Some prosthetic legs can help people walk, run, or even dance at a party.

Many prosthetics use electric power to work. Small batteries inside give the prosthetic its energy. Robots and prosthetics work in similar ways. Scientists and engineers are working every day to make them better. In the future, these amazing machines will help even more people live happy and healthy lives.
