Intro To Robotics
What is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots?
Robotics
What is the difference between Kinematics and Dynamics?
Kinematics: study of motion WITHOUT considering forces
Dynamics: study of motion WITH considering forces
Name the three main types of mobility we went over in this class (I know there's five, just give me the main three)
Wheeled
Legged
Aerial
__________ are vital tools that allow robots to interact with the environment
Sensors
Are cellphones allowed?
No
Why study robotics?
Helps develop problem-solving skills, as well as teamwork and collaboration
Provide an example of a end effector
Welding tools
Drills
Spray Paint
Thermometer
Barometer
Which movement option has to consider rough terrain VS smoot surfaces?
Wheeled Mobility
What does it mean to combine data from multiple sensors for more accurate and robust perception?
Sensor Fusion
How do we properly leave the classroom?
Turn off computer, push in chair
Why implement a robot into your research?
The environment might be too dangerous or difficult for humans
What's a joint? What's a link?
Joints provide movement, links connect joints
Which movement option has to consider stability and balance?
Legged Mobility
What type of sensor does a submarine use?
Ultrasonic
If I go to the bathroom without letting Mr. Roessler know, and show up like 10 minutes late, and he marks me tardy...who is in the wrong?
Where do we see robotics?
Manufacturing
Healthcare
Agriculture
Exploration / Space
Logistics / Warehousing
Defense / Security
Pretend I'm making a robot that hauls concrete. What material should I use?
Metal
The Mars Rover is an example of what type of mobility?
Wheeled
(technically, The JPL-developed Rocker-Bogie suspension system utilizes a six-wheel drive platform without axles or springs )
What emits laser beams and measures the reflected light?
Lidar
Where did Mr. Roessler go to college?
UMHB
What are the three laws of robotics?
(1) a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2) a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
3) a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
What is "soft robotics?"
Uses soft, flexible materials for versatile movement
Which mobility option must consider upward takeoff?
Aerial Mobility
What does IMU stand for? Provide an example.
Inertial Measurement Unit, odometer
What is the Technology Code Of Conduct and where can I find it?
The Technology Code Of Conduct is a list of rules regarding using technology here at Lometa ISD. It can be found on the Lometa website.
