Q

What is the definition for orientation?

A

The rotational (angle) location of something. A robot’s orientation is measured by roll, pitch, and yaw angles.

Q

What is speed?

A

Distance per unit time for a robotic movement

17
Q

What is the load baring capacity?

A

The maximum weight-carrying capacity of the robot

18
Q

What is accuracy with regards to robotics?

A

The ability of a robot to go to a specific position without making a mistake

19
Q

What is repeatability with regards to robotics?

A

This is the ability of a robot to repeatedly position itself when asked to perform a task multiple times.

20
Q

What is kinematics?

A

The geometry of motion

21
Q

What is forward kinematics?

A

Finding the end effector location from the angle of joints and lengths of links

22
Q

What is inverse kinematics?

A

This is finding the angles of the joints whilst knowing the end effector location and angle of it from the horizon and lengths of links
