Q

who is the person who coined the word robotics and what did he introduce?

A

Isaac Asimov,, 3 laws of robotics-guidelines for robot behaviour to ensure that they wouldnt harm humans

23
Q

the tools at the end of a robots arm

A

end effectors

24
a change in light intensity
visual stimuli
25
physical contact or touch
tactile stimuli
26
object moving closer or farther away
proximity stimuli
27
any change in temperature
thermal stimuli
28
sound waves and change in noise levels
auditory stimuli
29
is any detectable change in the environment that can be sensed so that an appropriate reaction can be made
stimulus
30
this is the first step and most crucial step, as the robots ability to respond is entirely dependent on its ability to detect relevant stimuli
detection of stimulus
31
once the sensor detects the stimulus, it converts this information into an electrical signal. this signal is then transmitted to the robots control system
signal transmission to control system
32
the control system processes the incoming signal and decides what action the robot should take based on its programming
processing the signal
33
after processing the signal, the control system sends a command to the actuators
command to actuators
34
this is the final step where robots respond to stimulus
execution of action
35
measures temperatures based on the seebeck effect and provides a digital output to the arduino. It can measure very high temperatures upto 1000C
thermocouple
36
typically used in a voltage divider circuit to provide an analog voltage that varies with temperature
thermistor(Ntc)
37
a type of resistor whose resistance varies resistance varies significantly with temperature
thermistor NTC
38
offers low accuracy and a smaller range
DHT11
39
Used in industrial robots for welding applications
welding torch
39
better accuracy and wider range
DHT22
40
used to handle ferromagnetic materials
magnetic end effectors
41
suction cup
used for picking up objects using vacuum pressure
42
used to grasp and manipulate objects
gripper
43
are devices attached at the end of a robotic arm or manipulator
end effectors
44
convert temperature changes into mechanical motion
thermal actuator
45
contracts or expands in response to temperature changes
thermal actuator
46
convert pressurized fluid into mechanical motion
hydraulic actuator
47
convert compressed air into mechanical motion
pneumatic actuator
48
2 types of electrical actuator
electric motor, solenoid
49
convert electrical energy into mechanical motion
electric actuator
50
actuators are critical for enabling robots to perform real-world tasks. They determine the robots what?
speed, strength, precision
51
actuators anable robots to perform such tasks like what?
lifting rotating moving gripping altering the position
52
converts different forms of energy into physical motion or force
actuators
53
sensors that affect infrared light, which is not visible to ste
IR sensor
54
detection in robotics, quality control in manufacturing manufactoring anfd matching
