Robotics Flashcards
What is robotics?
Robotics is the principle of a robot carrying out a task by following a precise set of programmed instructions.
Define dumb robots
Dumb robots are robots that repeat the same programmed instructions over and over again without AI.
What are smart robots?
Smart robots are robots that carry out more complex tasks and can adapt and learn using AI.
What are the mechanical characteristics of robots?
Robots have three common characteristics: mechanical structure, electrical components, and programmability.
What is an actuator?
An actuator is an electrical component in robots that allows them to move and interact with their environment.
Define algorithmic bias
Algorithmic bias is an ethical issue in AI and robotics where algorithms may produce unfair or discriminatory results.
What role do robots play in agriculture?
In agriculture, robots can act as planting and seeding machines, providing precise planting at optimum depths and distances.
What is legal liability in the context of robotics?
Legal liability in the context of robotics is an ethical and legal issue concerning who is responsible when a robot’s actions cause harm or damage.
