Part 2 - Program Design

A program is..

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the robot to follow.

• A set of directions, written in paragraph form, that even a robot can follow.

• A logical and step-by-step set of directions for the programmer to follow

• None of the above

Pseudocode is:

• False code

• A code, written in binary language, that the robot can understand

• A code, written in English, that the robot can understand

• A set of basic steps that the human can use to plan the program

________ are a convenient way to talk about what the robot is doing and what it must do to carry out the plan created by the programmer

• Operations

• Behaviors

• Actions

• Instructions

A robot that can perform tasks and operate in an environment independently, without human control or intervention.

• Operator

• Autonomous

• Automatic

• Digital

The bumper switch and limit switch give values of 1 when pressed and 0 when released

• True

• False

Digital Sensors produce discrete values (0 and 1’s). Discrete values often called digital (binary) signals

• True

• False

In some Robotics applications, we need a robot to be aware when get hit. Help the programmer to choose the appropriate sensor from the following?

• light sensor

• potentiometer

• sound sensor

• bumper sensor

In some Robotics applications, we need a robot to sense room darkness. Help the programmer to choose the appropriate sensor from the following

• light sensor

• potentiometer

• sound sensor

• touch sensor

Robots use sensors to:

• Gather information about the world around them and respond appropriately.

• Make the design of the robot look not cool.

• Make the design of the robot look cool.

• Confuse the user.
