Computation and Robotics I

What is an automated mechanism?

• A device or machine that performs a specific task and whose operation cannot be changed

• A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy

• A type of programmable robot

• A control system that regulates automated processes

What is a microcontroller?

• A device that detects physical or chemical variables in the environment

• A programmable integrated circuit on a single chip that covers all the basic functions of a computer

• A type of actuator that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion

• A type of sensor used in robotics

What kind of control systems do not take the output signal into account in the control action?

• Speed control systems

• Open loop systems

• Cloed - loop systems

• Temperatura control systems

What is the function of an actuator in a closed control system?

• Convert electrical energy into a specific action to act on an automated process

• Detect physical or chemical variables and transform them into electrical variables

• Compare the output signal with the input signal to correct errors

• Process the information captured from the environment and act accordingly

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

• A system that connects physical devices over a network

• A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion

• The ability of a system to mimic human cognitive functions

• A type of sensor used in robotics

What is Internet of Things (IoT)?

• A device that detects physical or chemical variables in the environment

• The interconnection of physical devices through a network that allows them to interact with each other

• A system that regulates and controls the operation of an automated mechanism

• A type of actuator that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion

What is one of the uses of Artificial Intelligence today?

• Controllers that act as an interface between the computer and the devices to be controlled

• Actuators that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion

• Sensors that detect physical or chemical variables in the environment

• Virtual personal assistants that allow you to give orders thorugh voice recogniton

What elements make up a robot?

• Controllers, actuators, and elements of a control system

• Sensors, controller board and actuators

• Microcontrollers, sensors and actuactors

• Controller board, elements of a control system and actuators

What is the function of a sensor in a closed control system?

• Convert electrical energy into a specific action to act on an automated process

• Compare the output signal with the input signal to correct errors

• Detect physical or chemical variables and transform them into electrical variables

• Process the information captured from the environment and act accordignly

What is a feature of microcontrollers compared to computers?

• They require retrofit modules and are not directly connected to sensors and motors

• They are more expensive and consume more energy

• They run hundreds of programs and have a lot of memory

• They perform a specific task and have less memory
