What is "Safety"?
Which of the following was a key event in the development of modern robots?
The development of early mechanical devices
What component is responsible for the robot's movements?
What is the "Manipulator"?
What should always be considered when working with electricity to ensure safety?
Proper grounding and insulation
What is the first step in solving a programming problem?
Understanding specifications and requirements
What should be done if a potential safety issue is identified?
Report it and align with safety standards
Why are robots used in environments that are considered "dirty"?
Because they can withstand harsh conditions better than humans.
The perform dirty jobs that humans don't want to do but the job needs to be done.
What is an example of a robot's work envelope?
What is "Cylindrical"?
Which type of circuit connection can provide increased battery life by allowing devices to share the same voltage?
What is "Parallel"
What is the purpose of a flow chart in programming?
To provide a visual representation of the process
Complete a basic safety _ without errors before using any tools
What is a "test"
What is the primary difference between industrial robots and other types of robots?
Industrial robots are used in manufacturing settings
Which end-of-arm tool is used for holding objects?
What is the "Gripper"?
What is the unit of energy often used to describe battery capacity?
What is "Amp/hour"?
What type of documentation should be provided during program development?
Both internal and external
What is the purpose of personal protective equipment (PPE)?
To protect against safety hazards
Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using robots in the workplace
The benefits of using robots in the workplace include increased efficiency, precision, and safety. However, drawbacks can include job displacement for workers and the need for specialized maintenance and programming.
Which component of a robot can be either stationary or mobile?
What is "Base"?
Which of the following is a disadvantage of hydraulic power compared to electric power?
What is "More complex systems"?
Describe how you would test a program for errors and proper functionality.
To test a program for errors and proper functionality, I would run the program with different sets of data, observe the outputs, and compare them with the expected results. I would also use debugging tools to identify and fix any errors.
What should you do first before using any laboratory equipment?
Locate and understand the use of shop safety equipment
Describe how the development of robotics has impacted society historically
The development of robotics has historically impacted society by automating tasks that were once labor-intensive, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. This evolution began with simple mechanical devices and evolved into sophisticated machines that can perform complex tasks.
What is the role of the control system in a robot?
To operate and control the robot
What device is used to measure voltage, amperage, and resistance?
What is a "Multimeter"?
Explain the importance of using professional programming style in developing automated systems.
Using professional programming style is important because it improves code readability and maintainability, making it easier for other programmers to understand and modify the code if necessary.
