Fall 2024 - FIRT - C6: Robot Control Classification

What is a non-servo control robot?

• A non-servo control robot is capable of autonomous decision-making.

• A non-servo control robot does not use servo motors for movement or control.

• A non-servo control robot uses only servo motors for movement or control.

• A non-servo control robot is controlled remotely by a human operator.

What are the characteristics of a non-servo control robot?

• Non-servo control robots use hydraulic actuators for movement.

• Non-servo control robots use motors like DC motors or stepper motors for control instead of servo motors.

• Non-servo control robots are always slower than servo control robots.

• Non-servo control robots have limited precision in their movements.

What are some applications of a non-servo control robot?

• Data analysis, software development, graphic design

• Medical procedures, scientific research, architectural design

• Cooking tasks, gardening, car maintenance

• Pick and place tasks, material handling, painting, welding, simple assembly tasks

How would you define a servo control robot?

• A servo control robot is a robot that utilizes servo motors for precise control of its movements.

• A servo control robot is a robot that is controlled by voice commands.

• A servo control robot is a robot that relies on pneumatic motors for precise control of its movements.

• A servo control robot is a robot that uses hydraulic motors for precise control of its movements.

What are the main characteristics of a servo control robot?

• Limited range of motion

• Precise control of position, velocity, and acceleration with feedback mechanisms.

• Random movement without feedback control

• Inability to adjust speed

Can you provide examples of applications where servo control robots are commonly used?

• Household appliances

• Agricultural machinery

• Medical equipment

• Manufacturing robotic arms, CNC machines, 3D printers, automated cameras

Explain the concept of a non-servo control robot.

• A non-servo control robot is controlled by a human operator.

• A non-servo control robot does not use servo motors for movement.

• A non-servo control robot uses only servo motors for movement.

• A non-servo control robot is always autonomous.

List some key features that distinguish a non-servo control robot.

• Absence of feedback mechanisms, reliance on open-loop control, inability to sense position or adjust based on external factors

• Reliance on closed-loop control

• Presence of feedback mechanisms

• Ability to sense position and adjust based on external factors

In what scenarios would a non-servo control robot be preferred over a servo control robot?

• When precise positioning is not required, continuous rotation or repetitive movements are involved, or cost and simplicity are prioritized over accuracy.

• When cost is not a concern

• When high precision is needed

• For complex and varied movements

Describe the functionality of a servo control robot.

• A servo control robot is controlled by voice commands.

• A servo control robot uses hydraulic motors for movement.

• A servo control robot has no ability to adjust its movements.

• A servo control robot utilizes servo motors to precisely control the movement of its joints or parts based on signals from a controller.
