Card 1Robot basics

What are the three main kinds of parts in a robot?

Answer

A robot is typically made up of three kinds of parts: a mechanical body, an electric skeleton, and a programmed brain. These parts help the robot gather information, make decisions, and carry out task

Card 2Robot basics

Why must a machine be able to move its body or chassis to be called a robot?

Answer

A machine can only be categorized as a robot if its body or chassis can move. Movement is necessary because robots must perform physical actions, not just process information.

Card 3Control system

What is the control system of a robot?

Answer

The control system directs the robot's task at a high level. It is the robot's brain and sends instructions so the robot can act correctly using information from sensors.

Card 4Control system

What does the controller do in a robot?

Answer

The controller acts as the brain of the robot. It receives information from sensors, compares the real situation with the required task, and sends corrective signals to the actuators.

Card 5Sensors

What is a sensor in a robot?

Answer

A sensor is a component that provides electrical signals so the robot can interact with the world. Sensors help the robot observe its surroundings, analyse what is happening, and send information to t

Card 6Other sensors

What do the following sensors measure: encoder, potentiometer, LVDT, strain gauge, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, and light sensor?

Answer

Encoder measures angle. Potentiometer measures angle or length. LVDT measures length. Strain gauge measures deflection. Ultrasonic sensor measures distance. Infrared sensor measures distance. Light se

Card 7Typical sensors

How do vision, voice, tactile, force/pressure, proximity, and limit switch sensors help a robot?

Answer

Vision sensors help the robot see surroundings. Voice sensors help the robot respond to speech. Tactile sensors help it sense touch. Force/pressure sensors detect force and direction on the arm. Proxi

Card 8Sensors

How do photoresistors, video cameras, and microphones help robots?

Answer

Photoresistors act as the robot's eyes. Video cameras and microphones act as the robot's hearing. These sensors help the robot receive information from its surroundings.
