Automation Robotics Assessment

No matter how efficient a robot is at transferring energy some of the energy is "lost" to what?

• Heat

• Friction

• Sound

• Work

The purpose of the mechanism above is to...

• Increase the amount of torque(power)

• Increase the amount of speed

• Change the kind of motion

• Change the direction of the force 90 degrees

In a gear train; a SMALLER drive gear will...(think of a bicycle)

• Increase the amount of torque (power)

• Increase the amount of speed

• Decrease the amount of torque (power)

• None of the above

What is the difference between torque and force

• Torque is a push or a pull in a straight line and fore is a rotational push or pull

• Force is a push or pull in a straight line and force is a rotational push or pull

• They have no differences, they are the same

Engineers build robots to transfer energy in all ways except...

• By changing direction

• By changing speed

• By changing type of movement

• By changing the work that is done

In a gear train; A LARGER drive gear would have what effect (Think of a bicycle)

• More torque (power)

• More energy

• More speed

• None of the above

Why is it important for engineers to write very specific instructions (programs) for robots?

• Because robots forget their jobs easily

• Because robots daydream a lot

• Because robots cannot think on their own

• Because robots try to take shortcuts

Pseudocode is important to programming because...CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER!

• It is real language and not code

• It is your plan for laying out the code. It will keep you on track and save you time

• It shows up in green

• It tells the robot what to do

Movement in a straight line is...

• Linear

• Rotary

• Reciprocating

• Oscillating

Movement back and forth in an ark...

• Linear

• Rotary

• Reciprocating

• Oscillating
