What is the name for information sent from robot sensors to robot controllers?
-
Temperature
-
Pressure
-
Feedback
-
Signal
-
Output
Correct Answer
A. FeedbackExplanation
Feedback refers to the information that is sent from robot sensors to robot controllers. It allows the controllers to adjust and modify the robot's actions based on the received information. This feedback loop enables the robot to make accurate and precise movements, improving its overall performance and functionality.Rate this question:

The number of moveable joints in the base, the arm, and the end effector of the robot determines ............... ?
-
Degrees of freedom
-
Payload capacity
-
Operational limits
-
Flexibility
-
Cost
Correct Answer
A. Degrees of freedomExplanation
The number of moveable joints in the base, the arm, and the end effector of the robot determines the degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent variables or parameters that can be adjusted in order to position or orient the robot's end effector in a specific way. The more moveable joints a robot has, the higher its degrees of freedom, allowing it to perform a wider range of movements and tasks.Rate this question:

For a robot unit to be considered a functional industrial robot, typically, how many degrees of freedom would the robot have?
-
Three
-
Four
-
Six
-
Eight
-
Ten
Correct Answer
A. SixExplanation
A functional industrial robot typically has six degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent movements or axes that a robot can perform. With six degrees of freedom, a robot can move in three-dimensional space and perform a wide range of tasks, such as picking up objects, manipulating tools, and navigating complex environments. This level of flexibility and maneuverability makes a robot with six degrees of freedom highly versatile and suitable for various industrial applications.Rate this question:

Which of the following places would be LEAST likely to include operational robots?
-
Warehouse
-
Factories
-
Hospitals
-
Private homes
-
Chemical Research Laboratories
Correct Answer
A. Private homesExplanation
Private homes would be least likely to include operational robots because robots are typically used in places that require repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, or precision work. While there are some robots designed for household chores such as vacuuming or lawn mowing, they are not as common as robots used in warehouses, factories, hospitals, or chemical research laboratories. In private homes, tasks are usually performed by humans or simpler machines that do not require advanced robotics technology. Therefore, private homes are the least likely place to find operational robots.Rate this question:

What is the name for the space inside which a robot unit operates?
-
Environment
-
Spatial base
-
Danger zone
-
Exclusion zone
-
Work envelop
Correct Answer
A. Work envelopExplanation
The term "work envelope" refers to the space within which a robot unit operates. It defines the boundaries and limitations of the robot's movements and activities. The work envelope is crucial in determining the reach and range of the robot, ensuring that it can perform its tasks effectively and safely within a designated area.Rate this question:

Which of the basic parts of a robot unit would include the computer circuitry that could be programmed to determine what the robot would do?
-
Sensor
-
Controller
-
Arm
-
End effector
-
Drive
Correct Answer
A. ControllerExplanation
The controller is the basic part of a robot unit that includes the computer circuitry that can be programmed to determine what the robot would do. It is responsible for processing the input from sensors and making decisions based on the programmed instructions. The controller acts as the brain of the robot, controlling its movements and actions according to the desired tasks and objectives.Rate this question:

Which of the following terms refers to the rotational motion of a robot arm?
-
Swivel
-
Axle
-
Retrograde
-
Roll
-
Yaw
Correct Answer
A. RollExplanation
Roll refers to the rotational motion of a robot arm. In robotics, roll is the rotation of an object around its longitudinal axis. It is similar to the rolling motion of a wheel, where the object rotates in a circular motion along its axis. In the context of a robot arm, roll refers to the rotation of the arm around its axis, allowing it to move in a circular or arc-like motion.Rate this question:

Which one of the following terms refers to the up - down motion of a robot arm?
-
Yaw
-
Pitch
-
Lateral
-
Roll
-
Elevate
Correct Answer
A. PitchExplanation
Pitch refers to the up-down motion of a robot arm. Yaw refers to the side-to-side motion, lateral refers to the movement to the side, roll refers to the rotation around the longitudinal axis, and elevate refers to the vertical movement of an object. Therefore, pitch is the correct term for the up-down motion of a robot arm.Rate this question:

Which of the following terms refers to the left - right movement of a robot arm?
-
Yaw
-
Vertical
-
Pitch
-
Swing
-
Roll
Correct Answer
A. YawExplanation
Yaw refers to the left-right movement of a robot arm. It is the rotation of the arm around the vertical axis, allowing the arm to move horizontally from side to side. This movement is similar to the movement of a person turning their head left or right. Yaw is one of the basic movements of a robot arm and is essential for navigating and manipulating objects in different directions.Rate this question:
