Worksheet time: 9mins
What types of engineers work together to design robots?
electrical, petroleum, and civil
electrical, mechanical, and chemical
electrical, software, and mechanical
electrical, aerospace, and packaging
Motors/Arms: Which formula is used to calculate the torque required to lift objects?
Work/time
Force x distance
PSI x GPM/1714
Force directed in a circle (a spinning force) is known as?
Speed
Torque
Acceleration
Velocity
Motor/Arm: The more torque the robot has, the more force it exerts on the object, and the faster the arm will lift it up.
True
False
Motor/Arm: A robot has limited torque at its arm joint lifting objects of different weights. How does this affect the required arm torque?
a shorter arm will be able to lift more weight than a long arm
as the weight of the object goes down, the torque required goes down as well
heavier objects require more torque to lift
All are True

Arm & Claw
Fork & Shovels
Bumper & Rollers
Wheels & Continuous Tracks
A robot’s work depends its task, which intake method has a top or side configuration? (often utilized in material pushing, sliding, pressing, or smoothing)
Arm & Claw
Fork & Shovels
Bumper & Rollers
Wheels & Continuous Tracks
