Sometime referred to as a "Backpack" that holds information to be used later in your code
What is a "Variable"?
This procedure ensures machinery is properly disabled before maintenance.
What is "lock out tag out"?
A robot is used to sort 50,000 mail envelopes by zip code every single day. Which "D" describes this repetitive task?
Dull.
Linear movements along X, Y, and Z axes define this type of work envelope.
What is "Cartesian"?
Looking at the diagram, if all components are connected in a single continuous loop, what type of circuit is it?
Series Circuit
These predefined terms, like 'if' and 'while,' have specific meanings in programming languages.
What are "keywords"?
Safety goggles protect these from flying debris

This End-of-Arm Tooling is used to pick up and move objects.
What is a "gripper"?
Looking at a diagram, if the current has multiple "branches" or paths to follow, what type of circuit is it?
Parallel Circuit
This device manually controls and programs a robot, recording positions and movements.
What is a "teach pendant"?
These external safety devices protect workers from moving parts of a Robot
What are "guards or safety fencing"?
A robotic surgical system moves a needle with more precision than a human hand could ever manage. Which "D" is this?
What is an "industrial robot"?
These systems use fluid pressure to generate powerful and controlled movements.
What are "hydraulic systems"?
Which type of robotic power system uses compressed air to create motion?
Pneumatics
Debugging is the process of identifying and fixing these in a program.
What are "errors"?
This percentage is required to pass the safety test before using shop equipment
What is "100%"?
According to your standards, what is the field of technology that tries to make machines "think" or "learn" like humans?
Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This term describes the number of independent movements a robot manipulator can make.
