How Does a Robot Know When to Move?

A robot uses special tools called sensors that feel things like touch, light, and sound. When the sensors get a signal, like seeing an object or feeling something bump into it, they tell the robot to move! It's like having a super-sensitive skin that helps the robot know exactly when to act.
