21
Q

What Can Robots Do

A

Do jobs that are dangerous for humans.
Do repetitive jobs that are boring, stressful, or labor-intensive for humans.
Do menial tasks that humans don’t want to do.

22
Q

Advantages Using Robots in Systems:

A
  • Robots increase productivity, safety, efficiency, quality, and consistency of products.
  • Robots can work in hazardous environments without the need.
  • Robots can be much more accurate than human.
  • Robots can process multiple stimuli or tasks simultaneously.
23
Q

Disadvantages Using Robots in Systems:

A
  • Robots lack capability to respond in emergencies.
  • Robots, although superior in certain senses, have limited capabilities in degree of freedom, dexterity, sensors, vision system, real time response.
  • Robots are costly, due to initial cost of equipment, installation costs, need for peripherals, need for training, need for programming.
24
Q

Robots fixed in one position. ex. robot arm (Robutus), 3D printers, electronic embroidery systems etc.

A

Stationary Robot

25
Q

A robot that moves (on wheels or tracks with a motor). e.g. line tracking mobots, zumobots, eximus, a robot buggy (vehicle) carrying parts around a warehouse, a bomb disposal robot

A

Mobile Robots

26
Q

Basic Parts of a Robotic System

A
  • Sensors (INPUTS),
  • Processors (CONTROLLERS) and
  • Actuators (OUTPUTS)
27
Q

a track formed by wire buried in the floor. Sensors on the robot detect magnetic field form electricity in the wire so follow the path of the wire.

A

Magnetic guides

28
Q

The robot transmits light onto a white line on the floor and detects reflected light with 2 light detectors (sensors). If the robot is centered over the line, then both sensors give an equal signal.

A

Light Guides

29
Q

used in places where it is not safe for people to go e.g. bomb disposal

A

Remote Control
