A robot is....

[hlreed]

a machine constructed to read some properties of nature, feed that to a brain or motor which writes some action on nature.
The data flow is:
Nature -> Sensors -> brain -> Motors -> Nature
Note the loop.
Sensors read nature and write data.
brains mediate between sensors and motors.
motor read data and write actions to nature.
(This also defines every living thing.)
Brains are the most complex machines we know. Fortunately they are made of simple parts, also sensors and motors, so we can build simple brains.
To that end I have developed an algebra, Hal algebra that maps to robots and other machines.
This algebra is free for the asking.
