Description: Analog robotics refers to an approach in the construction and control of robots using analog signals instead of digital ones. In this context, analog signals are continuous and can represent an infinite range of values, allowing for a more fluid and natural representation of physical variables. This type of robotics relies on analog circuits, which may include components such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors, to process information and control the robot’s behavior. Unlike digital robotics, which uses microcontrollers and code-based programming, analog robotics focuses on direct interaction with the environment through electrical signals. This can result in more immediate and less latent control, which is especially useful in applications where response speed is critical. Analog robotics is particularly relevant in systems requiring real-time processing and interaction with dynamic environments. Although it has largely been overshadowed by digital robotics in recent decades, analog robotics remains an area of interest for certain types of applications and experimentation, especially in educational and research settings.
