• Using technology to perform tasks automatically

• Removing materials from the ground

• Evaluating the quality of a product

What is an example of "extraction"?

• Assembling a car on a production line

• Removing oil from deep underground

• Using a robot to simulate a crash test

• Grading fruits based on size

Which of the following describes something "fully functional"?

• It is not working properly.

• It operates exactly as it is designed to.

• It needs frequent repairs.

• It requires human assistance to work.

What does it mean to "grade something"?

• To remove impurities from a material

What does "grow rapidly" mean?

• To develop slowly over time

• To expand very quickly

• To remain at the same level

• To reduce in size or importance

High-speed cameras are best used for:

• Capturing images in extreme detail over long durations

• Recording fast-moving events with high accuracy

• Simulating real-world scenarios for experiments

• Grading the quality of photographic prints

What is a "life-sized robot"?

• A robot smaller than a human

• A robot the same scale as a human or real object

• A robot used only in factories

• A robot that needs human supervision to function

Why is "maintenance" important for robots?

• To increase their size

• To keep them in good working condition

• To make them slower and safer

• To reduce their programming capabilities

What does it mean to "simulate a situation"?

• To recreate a real-world scenario in a controlled environment

• To record data with high-speed cameras

• To automate a repetitive task

• To grade a product based on quality

How can automation "threaten jobs"?
