Robotics hardware and parts *

• 1. can function without codes

• 2. cannot function without codes

• 3. can be put together to create a system

• (1) and (2)

• (2) and (3)

What does this piece of code do?

• Repeat A until B occurs

• Do A until B occurs

• Do A even if B doesn't occur

What does this piece of code do?

• Move backward at medium speed

• Move forward at slow speed

• Move forward at medium speed

• None of the above

What does this piece of code do?*

• If there's obstacle in front, the robots move backward at slow speed.

• If there's obstacle in front, the robots move forward at medium speed.

• If there's no obstacle in front, the robots move forward at medium speed and If there's obstacle in front, the robots move backward at medium speed.

• None of the above

Programming can be used to

• 1. instruct people

• 2. instruct hardware

• 3. instruct robots

• 4. instruct software

• (2), (3), (4)

Robots can

• be programmed to make decisions

• be programmed to do what humans cannot do

• all the above

Robots use "if/else then" commands to

• make decisions

• to move

• to wait

• to repeat

Robots use "while" commands to

• make decisions

• to move continously

• to do an action continuously when something is always true

• none of the above
