Module 3: Actuators

Actuators do not allow a robot to:

• Walk

• Climb

• Fly

• Power up

Dynamic stability is:

• the ability to remain balanced even when in motion

• one that depicts movement in the subject

• when the volume changes

• 10 points

Static Stability is:

• the build up of an electric charge on an object.

• the ability to stand upright without falling over

• the character that stays the same through the entire story

• the ability to maintain a stable level of internal conditions

To determine the stability of a robot you must first find its:

• Span of arms/wings

• Size of head

• Size of feet

• center of gravity

The three walking goals are:

• Glide, March, Speed

• March, Speed, Stability

• Glide, Robustness, Speed

• Robustness, Speed, Stability

Cartesian robots cannot be found where?

• Underwater construction

• manufacturing plant

• laboratory assistant

• warehouse

How many linear axes do Cartesian robots work on?

• Three (X, Y, and Z)

• Five (A, B, C, D, and E)

• Three (A, B, and C)

• Two (X and Y)

Which industrial robot configuration most resembles a human arm?

• Delta

• Cylindrical

• Articulated

• Cartesian

Delta robots have ____ arms connected to a single base.

• 5

• 2

• 1

• 3

These robots have a single rotary joint at the base and a linear joint to move an arm.

• Delta

• Cylindrical

• Articulated

• Cartesian
