Chapter 4

The difference between first generation and second generation robots is that 

• second generation had sensors
• first generation had artificial intelligence
• second generation had visioning systems
• first generation introduced the microprocessor

___________________ is often used in manufacturing processes to perform work that is repetitive and does not require many complicated movements to accomplish a task.

• point to point motion
• pick and place motion
• continuous path

In ___________________ motion, the robot arm does not come to rest a various points.

• continuous path
• pick and place

Manual programming is best described as 

• walk through programming
• using a teach pendent
• machine setup
• on-line programming

In _____________________ programming, the operator leads the robot through the various positions involved in an operation.  This points are recorded into memory by pushing buttons.

• machine setup
• walk through 
• teach pendant
• on-line

In __________________ programming, the operator adjusts the necessary end stops, switches, cams, electrical wires. and hoses to setup the movement sequence for the robot.

• teach pendant
• walk through
• on-line
• manual 

Servo control functions are computed at the ____________ level of hierarchical control programming

• highest
• lowest
• middle

Walk through programming is used for ______________________ robots

• continuous path motion
• point to point motion
• pick and place motion

________________ programming is a method of creating instructions for a robot in which the commands are structures in levels.  Each level accepts commands from the level above and responds by generating commands for the level below.

• Task Level
• Hierarchical Control
• Voice Recognition
• On-Line

______ a method of creating instructions for a robot in which the user specifies the goals of each task rather than the motions required to achieve these goals.

• hierarchical control progamming
• on-line programming
• task level programming
• manual programming
