G6. Introduction to Robots

A city wants to move small packages across sidewalks safely and efficiently. Based on the image of a six-wheeled device, which control system feature would be most important?

• Sensors to detect people and obstacles

• Speakers to play loud music

• Bright colors for style and fashion

• Extra seats for human passengers

Which statement best defines a robot for grade 6 students?

• A living creature that thinks by itself

• A machine built to do specific jobs

• A toy that moves only when pushed

• A computer program without any body

After a robot is programmed, how does it usually operate?

• It waits for constant human commands

• It works automatically without human help

• It makes up new jobs every day

• It stops because programming removes power

Which category best describes a robot designed to look and move like a human body?

• Humanoid robot with human-like body

• Robot arm for industrial tasks

• Non-humanoid robot with wheels

• Animal-inspired drone design

A factory wants fewer injuries and errors during boring, repeated actions. What is the best plan?

• Rotate workers to keep them interested

• Hire more humans for the same tasks

• Use robots for repetitive, routine jobs

• Stop producing items that need repetition

A car factory uses teams of collaborative robots. Which step best shows how they must work together?

• Building the engine before doors are installed

• Painting the car before the frame exists

• Putting on doors before any parts arrive

• Installing windows after the paint is wet

Motors and servos in a robot are best described as which type of component?

• Controllers

• Sensors

• Actuators

• Recorders

Which statement best describes closed-loop control in robots?

• Actuators run without power

• Controller ignores sensor data

• Sensors feed back results for adjustments

• Only manual control is allowed

In a simple cleaning robot, wheels are driven by motors after receiving commands. Which sequence is correct for avoiding a wall?

• Motor spins, sensor reads, controller stops

• Sensor detects, controller decides, motors turn

• Controller moves, sensor stops, battery rest

• Battery checks, wheels stop, controller sleeps

Why is calibration important for sensors?

• It paints the robot shell

• It aligns readings accurately

• It charges the battery faster

• It tightens wheel screws
