Robotics 2 Certification Review

Why are testbeds helpful to technicians?

• They allow technicians to easily verify the quantity of components.

• They allow technicians to test components and the connections between them.

• They allow technicians to write programs without compiler issues.

• Actually, they are generally not helpful to technicians.

Components in robotics systems can only be physically connected one way, so errors are very unlikely.

• True

• False

What purpose does a programming environment have in a robotics system?

• It is used to provide instructions for the robot to carry out.

• It is used to transfer code from a computer to a robot brain.

• Both of the above.

• None of the above.

Which of the following is NOT typically part of the value of an inventory checklist?

• It displays the cost of the components included.

• It displays the quantity of the components included.

• It may be used to display important procedures once components are accounted for.

• It can be used to keep track of which technician completed certain tasks.
