Robotics week1 Flashcards
Introduction of Robotics and programming (13 cards)
List at least three general motivations for using robotics
To save money.
To make money.
To save time.
To save effort.
To do things that are difficult, dirty, dangerous, or dull.
To improve quality of life
Which of the following best describes a robot?
A programmable machine capable of carrying out complex tasks autonomously
What is the primary goal of robotics
To design machines that can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously
What is the benefit of using simulation in robotics
To test and refine robot behaviour without physical risk
What is defining charateristic of robot
A robot can perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously
(T/F) Robots have evolved to perform increasingly complex tasks
Tom Scott(example of a modern-day robotics demonstration or concept)
Contemporary robot
What was SHAKEY and why was it significant
SHAKEY was the world’s first mobile intelligent robot
It combined “Perception”, “Word modelling”, “Planning”, and “Execution”
Many AI and robotics’ 선구자(pioneer)
What is Seleno, Electric Dog?
It was an early electrically powered automation shaped like a dog, showcasing electrically driven robotic motion
How did robots evolve alongside broader technological shifts?
Progressed from mechanical to electrical, to electronic, to digital systems
Is Siri, Alexa a robot?
No, they are programmable and may be autonomous, but they lack an actuated mechanism
What are three essential charasteristics that constitute “What is a robot?”
- Actuated Mechanism
: Must be capable of movement (real or simulated) - Autonomus
: capable of acting without constant human - Programmable
: capable of being reconfigured (instructions can be changed)
State the formal definition of robot from LEORobotics
Robot is an actuated mechanism programmable in two or more axes with a degree of autonomy, moving within its environment, to perform intended tasks
