In BEAM robotics, a sitter is a type of robot that does not move. Such robots have no self-contained means of transportation and are non-mobile. Instead of moving, sitters are usually designed to power lights in some sort of pattern. Most sitters are built as decorations rather than serving a practical purpose.
As sitters usually have few parts and are not very complicated to build, many newcomers to BEAM robotics start with sitters, as they are a good place to begin learning the basics of the hobby.
Sitter may refer to:
- Babysitter, one who temporarily cares for a child
- Trip sitter, onen who remains sober while another person is under the influence of a drug
- Companion (caregiving), one who is hired to work with a patient
- Sitter (BEAM), a type of robot that does not move
- The Sitter (1991 film), starring Kim Myers
- The Sitter (2007 film) or While the Children Sleep, starring Mariana Klaveno
- The Sitter, a 2011 film starring Jonah Hill
- Sitter (river), a river, which flows through the cantons of both Appenzells, St. Gallen, Thurgau, and Zurich in Switzerland
- Sitters, a municipality in Germany
- Sitter, one who sits as the subject of a portrait painting
