Automation and Robotics

A mock-up is a:

• Large scale structural model utilized to determine stresses and strengths
• Model whose purpose is to showcase how the product functions
• Model whose purpose is to showcase how the product will look
• System for determining the most efficient method to make a product

A prototype is a:

• Functional model of a product.
• Visual model or interpretation of a product
• Short production run of a product used to test robot programming and assembly line functionality
• Functional model that matches the anticipated visual appearance of the product 

Brainstorming sketches are:

• An expression of art that showcases the inner thought process of the artist
• Quick "stick figure" quality sketches with labeling and descriptions utilized as a means of communicating
• Detailed dimensioned drawings that are used by the builder to create the product
• Used by engineers and designers to aid in programming preliminary robotic manufacturing (PRM)

The term annotation means:

• To cite the source or reference used in researching a design
• To review and critique a designs functionality 
• To declare a design ready for manufacturing
• To add notes and descriptions

The term render means to:

• Reduce a design to its simplest elements
• Color or shade a sketch
• Reproduce in large quantitiies
• Resize or redraw

The team facilitator is: 

• Responsible for leading or coordinating the work of a group
• Someone that encourages and supports each member of a team
• Someone that provides feedback as to how the team and team members are performing
• All of the statements are true

Design criteria are:

• Design requirements such as the size, shape and type of material
• The same as project constraints
• Only developed after the prototype has been tested and formally evaluated
• Optional but sometimes very helpful

One purpose of showing the video "Deep Dive" was to show:

• The importance of safety when swimming and scuba diving
• How organized chaos can damage the creativity of a company
• How sketches are utilized as a means of communication
• How robots can be utilized as a means of sensing worker empathy

One purpose of showing the video "Ultimate Factories: Tesla" was to showcase:

• All the responses are correct
• How robots can be utilized to help manufacture a quality product
• How a modern factory is a blend of robots, humans and automated machinery
• The promising developments in electric automobiles 

The term empathy means:

• Awareness of the feeling and emotions of other people
• Feeling bad for people less fortunate than yourself
• Attempting to fix other peoples' problems
• Liking someone or being their friend in order to make them feel better
