The word 'Robot' may bring to our mind different types of robots.
However other types of robots exist in different shapes, size and functionality Select ALL the robots:
What is a Robot?
Select the best defenition for a 'Robot':
A machine designed to solve all the problems in the world.
A machine designed with an intelligent brain similar to the brain of a human being.
A machine designed to express emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, fear and so on.
A machine designed to execute one or more tasks repeatedly with speed and precision.
Robots are used in different areas and for different aims.
Which of these robots would you think is suitable to be used in Military?
Robots are also used in search and rescue operations.
Which of these robots is designed for this job?
Which of these robots would you send to explore planet Mars?
Which of these robots do you think is/are suitable to use in Industry to move objects, drill, weld, spray and so on?
Most robots are equipped with motors and sensors.
What are motors in robots used for?
Detect an obstacle
Detect light intensity
Detect sound
Movement
A very important sensor is used to detect objects in front of the robot.
This sensor is generally known as:
Ultrasonic Sensor
Sound Senor
Light Sensor
Colour Sensor
Another important sensor is used to detect touch.
Which of these sensors was designed for this job?
Touch Sensor
Temperature Sensor
Humidity Sensor
Gyro Sensor
Can you identify the sound sensor which is used to capture or record audio?

A flowchart is a diagram showing a step-by-step approach how to solve a problem.
Below you have 3 flowcharts showing the steps to make a cup of tea. Which flowchart is the correct one?
Sequence, Decision (condition) and Iteration (loop) are three important programming concepts.
A sequence is when we have a number of instructions to be executed one after the other. Select the section from this flowchart showing a sequence:
Section marked in GREEN
Section marked in RED
Section marked in YELLOW
Sequence, Condition (decision) and Iteration (loop) are three important programming concepts.
A decision (condition) is when a different action is taken depending on the condition set. Select the section from this flowchart showing a condition :
Section marked in GREEN
Section marked in RED
Section marked in YELLOW
Sequence, Condition (decision) and Iteration (loop) are three important programming concepts.
An iteration (loop) is when a number of commands are repeated for a number of times. Select the section from this flowchart showing an iteration:
Section marked in GREEN
Section marked in RED
Section marked in YELLOW
