A means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions.
What is Orthographic Projection
100
A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.
What is a Robot
100
Unit of measurement of power.
What is Watt
100
In analog technology, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. In digital technology, a wave is defined and stored in binary-based arrays of 0’s and 1’s.
What is the difference between analog and digital technology?
100
Acting independently without human intervention.
What is Autonomous
200
A number with a defined magnitude and direction.
What is Vector
200
Refers to the group of components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.
What is Drive Train
200
An electrical network that has a closed loop giving a return path for the current.
What is Circuit
200
A binary number containing eight binary digits
What is a Byte
200
Represents text or computer processor instructions using the two binary digits, 0 and 1.
What is Binary Code
300
A way of writing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.
What is Scientific Notation
300
The device at the end of a robotic arm, designed to interact with the environment.
What is End Effector
300
A converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument.
What is PWM
300
A branch of computer science that studies and develops intelligent machines and software.
What is Artificial Intelligence
300
A coil shaped like a doughnut.
What is Toroid
400
A converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument.
What is Sensor

An upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.
What is Buoyancy
400
Flow of electric charge periodically reversing direction.
What is Alternating Current
400
A step-by-step procedure for calculations.
What is an Algorithm
400
An internal framework that supports a man-made object in its construction and use.
What is Chassis
500
Rotational force, such as that applied to a screw by a wrench.
What is Torque
500
A small device that incorporates a three wire DC motor, a gear train, a potentiometer, an integrated circuit, and an output shaft bearing.
What is a Servo
500
The electrical current through a conducive element is directly proportional to the electrical potential difference between its terminals, where the constant of proportionality is the resistance.
What is Ohm's Law
500
Represents text or computer processor instructions using the two binary digits, 0 and 1.
What is Digital Signal
500
A distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.
