Robotics and Systems

What is the function of a distance sensor in building robots?

• Processes the inputs from sensors to decide how to act and send control signals.

• Receives signals in the form of IR light waves.

• Measures the ambient light in the environment around it.

• Sends and receives signals in the form of infrared (IR) light waves.

What is the purpose of a motion sensor in robotics?

• Measures the ambient light in the environment around it.

• Uses two IR receivers.

• Sends and receives signals in the form of infrared (IR) light waves.

• Processes the inputs from sensors to decide how to act and send control signals.

What is the role of an actuator in robotics?

• Sends and receives signals in the form of infrared (IR) light waves.

• Uses two IR receivers.

• An actuator is any component that moves or controls things.

• Receives signals in the form of IR light waves.

What is the function of an expansion shield in building robots?

• Used to connect a microcontroller to other components.

• Measures the ambient light in the environment around it.

• An actuator is any component that moves or controls things.

• Processes the inputs from sensors to decide how to act and send control signals.

Why is a battery pack essential in robotics?

• All components used for sensing, computing and acting need a power supply.

• Uses two IR receivers.

• An actuator is any component that moves or controls things.

• Receives signals in the form of IR light waves.
