Here are some articles that dive deeper into how things work. Also, you may be interested in the Glossary of common robotics terms.
Diodes
Diodes are electrical components that allow current to flow through them in one direction.
Shift Registers
Shift registers are a type of sequential logic circuit used to store and transfer data. They are often used to reduce the number of GPIO pins needed from a Microcontroller, such as the Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico to control another device, such as a keyboard or keypad.
Shift registers
Robots
A robot is an electromechanical machine that is programmed to perform a specific set of tasks.

Pots
Pots (Potentiometers) are electrical components that are used to measure and adjust the amount of resistance in a circuit.
Potentiometers
Encoders
Motor encoders are used in robotics to measure the position of a motor shaft.

SLAM
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is an collection of algorithms used in robotics for navigation and mapping. It works by using LIDAR, sonar and other sensor data to construct a 3D map of the environment and then using this map to localize the robot within it.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
MEMS
MEMS stands for MicroElectroMechanical Systems and is a technology that combines both electrical and mechanical elements on a very small scale.
MicroElectroMechanical Systems
MQTT
MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport, not Message Queuing Telemetry Transport as its often mistakenly called) is a lightweight messaging protocol designed by IBM for low-bandwidth, high-latency, unreliable networks.
Rotary Encoders
Rotary encoders are devices that measure the angular position or velocity of a rotating shaft.
Rotary encoders
Machine Learning
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computer systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
Machine learning
Ultrasonic sensors
Ultrasonic sensors use high-frequency sound waves to measure the distance between the sensor and an object.
Ultrasonic
LiDAR
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that measures the distance to an object by emitting a laser light and then measuring the amount of time it takes for the light to return after bouncing off the object.
Light Detection and Ranging
Inverse Kinematics
Inverse kinematics is a technique used in robotics and computer animation to calculate the joint angles needed to achieve a desired end position.
