Polar Robot
Cartesian Robot
The best description of a 1st generation robot is ...
A robot that works autonomously (on its own) and can learn from people to copy the task.
A robot that can be programmed to carry out multiple tasks. These robots have sensors (tactile, proximity, radar, sonar, vision systems) that provide feedback to a controller that adjusts the robot accordingly. This reduces the need for a human operator.
A robot that can be programmed to carry out one task. These robots have a single arm that can carry out precise movements at high speeds repeatedly for long periods of time.
The best description of a 3rd generation robot is ...

Why is it important to know a robots 'load capacity' before using it?
So you do not exceed the volume of the robot
So you do not exceed the maximum load the robot can manipulate
So you know how many parts you can move in a given time
What type of robot would you choose to paint car body panels?
1st generation
2nd generation
3rd generation
What does M2M stand for?
Machine to machine
Mouse to machine
Manufacturing to manufacturing
Which is a good example of M2M?
Two or more robots programmed to work together in a car factory to spot weld body panels
A vending machine that senses when it is running low and automatically messages the vendor.
The work envelope of a robot includes the areas that it can't touch but form the base of a robot.
True
False
A second generation robot is ...
programmed to complete a range of complex tasks using sensors.
programmed to complete a range of complex tasks with a group of other robots.
programmed to learn and complete a range of varying tasks.
programmed to complete a simple or complex task.
True or False - M2M forms the concept known as the 'Internet of Things' where systems use smart technology?
True
False
An example of the work envelop of a 3D printer is:
All of the above
